Hemorrhoidal Band Ligation at Innova Cirugía
Internal hemorrhoids are a common condition that can cause pain, bleeding, and discomfort in daily life. Fortunately, there are now modern, effective, and minimally invasive solutions. At Innova Cirugía, we perform rubber band ligation, a safe and quick treatment that relieves symptoms without the need for traditional surgery or hospitalization.
What is rubber band ligation for hemorrhoids?
Treatment of hemorrhoids using rubber band ligation is one of the most effective, safe, and widely used techniques today for internal hemorrhoids. It is a minimally invasive procedure designed to address the problem in a simple way while causing minimal discomfort to the patient.
The procedure involves placing a small rubber band at the base of the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply so that it gradually and naturally disappears. It is performed entirely on an outpatient basis, without the need for hospitalization or access to an operating room.
Advantages of elastic band ligation
At Innova Cirugía, we recommend this technique for its multiple benefits:
- Without anesthesia or an operating room: Reduces the risks associated with traditional surgery and allows for a quick and safe procedure.
- Minimal Discomfort: Compared to other surgical techniques, recovery is more comfortable, and the postoperative period is well tolerated.
- Rapid recovery: Most patients can resume their usual activities within a few days.
- Proven efficacy: Excellent clinical results when the treatment is correctly indicated.
- Affordable Treatment: An accessible option without compromising the quality of the result.
How is the procedure performed?
- Medical Evaluation: Surgeon Carlos Ortiz performs an anal examination to confirm the indication for treatment.
- Band placement: Using a special device, the elastic band is placed at the base of the internal hemorrhoid.
- Natural process: The hemorrhoid loses its blood supply, dries up, and progressively detaches.
- Medical Follow-up: A follow-up check is performed to ensure that the hemorrhoid has resolved properly and that there are no complications.
Post-Treatment Instructions and Care
This treatment is primarily indicated for individuals with first- and second-degree internal hemorrhoids, although it may also be applied in some cases of the third degree.
Post-Procedure Care:
- Avoid strenuous activity during the first few days.
- Maintain proper anal hygiene.
- Follow a diet rich in fiber to prevent constipation.
- Take painkillers as directed by your doctor, if necessary.
