Hemorrhoid Artery Ligation Operation (HALO) is a minimally invasive procedure that addresses hemorrhoids by reducing blood flow to the affected tissue. This technique provides significant symptom relief with minimal discomfort and downtime.
The procedure involves using a Doppler probe to locate the hemorrhoidal arteries. These arteries are then tied off with sutures to restrict blood flow, leading to the shrinkage of hemorrhoidal tissue. HALO can treat multiple arteries in a single session.
Patients typically experience reduced pain and bleeding following the procedure. Recovery is usually quick, with most individuals resuming normal activities within a few days. Dietary adjustments, such as increased fiber intake, support healing.
HALO benefits patients by offering a safe and effective solution for symptomatic hemorrhoids. This advanced approach minimizes complications and ensures lasting relief from discomfort.
