Ligation Techniques for Internal Hemorrhoids involve methods to cut off the blood supply to hemorrhoidal tissue, causing it to shrink and resolve symptoms. These minimally invasive procedures are effective for early-stage hemorrhoids.
Rubber band ligation is a common technique where a small band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid, restricting blood flow. Suture ligation is another method where sutures are used to achieve the same effect.
The procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis with minimal discomfort. Recovery involves maintaining a high-fiber diet and staying hydrated to prevent strain during bowel movements.
Ligation techniques benefit patients by offering a quick and effective treatment option for internal hemorrhoids. These methods ensure symptom relief with minimal downtime and high success rates.
