Definition/Usage
This article in its current state is schizophrenic regarding whether the term refers to "normal vascular structures" which are generally present in all healthy or unhealthy individuals, and which may in some cases "become pathological", but otherwise are unremarkable; or whether it refers to something that "occurs", having "symptoms" and "causes" when it does, and otherwise is not present and can be "prevented". If the cultural and/or professional usage is inconsistent, then the article should address and clarify that up front, and then adopt a consistent usage throughout. 134.134.137.71 (talk) 21:29, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I have noticed that among the procedures there is also mentioned the "Doppler-guided, transanal, hemorrhoidal dearterialization". Doing a little research I found this page here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transanal_hemorrhoidal_dearterialization where the procedure is described in more detail. I reckon it would help to link the 2 pages, the acronym (THD) of the procedure should be mentioned as well.
