100 consecutive patients treated by Lord's dilatation for haemorrhoids were followed up for a mean of 5-1 years. 2 patients could not be traced, and 1 had died. 75 patients were symptom-free or greatly improved. For 22 patients the treatment was unsatisfactory and 19 have since undergone haemorrhoidectomy. The outcomes at six months and five years were the same in 87%. The results of this follow-up study indicate that treatment of haemorrhoids by Lord's dilatation produces satisfactory long-lasting results in most patients.
对连续100例接受洛德氏扩张术治疗痔疮的患者进行了平均5.1年的随访。2例患者无法追踪到，1例患者已死亡。75例患者无症状或病情大为改善。22例患者的治疗效果不理想，其中19例后来接受了痔切除术。87%的患者在6个月和5年时的结果相同。这项随访研究的结果表明，洛德氏扩张术治疗痔疮在大多数患者中产生了令人满意的长期效果。
