Doppler-Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation is an innovative surgical technique that uses ultrasound technology to precisely identify and ligate arteries supplying blood to hemorrhoids. This targeted approach ensures effective treatment with minimal tissue damage.
During the procedure, a Doppler ultrasound probe is inserted into the rectum to locate the hemorrhoidal arteries. Once identified, the arteries are tied off using sutures, reducing blood flow to the hemorrhoids and promoting shrinkage.
The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. Recovery is quick, with minimal postoperative discomfort. Patients are advised to follow dietary recommendations and maintain proper hygiene.
Doppler-guided ligation benefits patients by providing precise and effective hemorrhoid treatment. This method ensures faster recovery and reduces the risk of complications compared to traditional hemorrhoid surgeries.
