A unique feature of the Canon is careful and precise observations and description of the disordersand diseases. However, the recommended treatment differs from which that used today except in a few diseases.Methods: The most detailed chapter regarding hemorrhoid in Canon of Avicenna, under the title of “Anal disease,” shows ratherprecise knowledge about anal disease and their surgical treatments in the 11th century.Results and Discussion: Avicenna explained in detail about anal diseases such as perianal abscess, fissure, rectal prolapse, andhemorrhoid in the 17th chapter of the 3rd volume of the Canon. Many herbs were used in anal disease by medieval physicians suchas Avicenna had antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, the knowledge of ancient physician can help us in developingnewtherapeutic methods. |
