Rubber Band Ligation: A Minimally Invasive Solution for Hemorrhoids
Rubber band ligation is a highly effective treatment for internal hemorrhoids. Small rubber bands are placed around the base of the hemorrhoidal tissue using a specialized device under direct visualization. This gradually reduces blood supply to the hemorrhoid, causing it to necrose, shrink, and detach, effectively stopping bleeding.
What to Expect During Rubber Band Ligation
This procedure requires no anesthesia or numbing and is suitable for internal hemorrhoids of grades 1, 2, or 3. It is performed on an outpatient basis in a clinic, eliminating the need for an operating room. Based on the severity and symptoms of the hemorrhoids, your physician will determine the best approach. Typically, one or two bands are applied per session to ensure safe and effective treatment.
