Rubber band ligation for hemorrhoids
Treating hemorrhoids with latex rings in Kyiv
Ligation with latex rings is one of the most common and highly effective methods of hemorrhoid treatment worldwide. It is indicated for stages 1 to 3 of hemorrhoidal disease. This treatment method is characterized by high effectiveness rates — over 85–90% of cases result in full recovery without the need for repeated procedures.
This procedure is performed without anesthesia. Using a special ligator, a latex ring is placed on the vascular base of the hemorrhoidal node. The intense compression stops blood flow to the node, causing it to detach. Within 2–3 weeks after the procedure, connective tissue forms at the site of the node and complete healing occurs. If multiple hemorrhoidal nodes need to be removed, the treatment is carried out in several sessions at two-week intervals. On the day of the procedure, the doctor prescribes 1–2 cleansing enemas in the morning and evening.
How the procedure is carried out
The procedure does not require much effort from the patient and lasts no more than 10–20 minutes. The rehabilitation period involves rest in a comfortable home setting. Full recovery usually takes just 1–3 days. Minor discomfort after the procedure typically resolves completely within 24 hours.
Contraindications to the procedure
Ligation is not recommended in the following cases:
-
Combined hemorrhoids;
-
Internal hemorrhoids of stage 1;
-
Presence of anal fissures;
-
Paraproctitis.
In such cases, another treatment method is selected for the patient to eliminate hemorrhoids.
Possible side effects:
-
Mild pain syndrome;
-
Sensation of a foreign body;
-
Slippage of the latex ring (extremely rare).
Cost of treatment
The price of the procedure depends on the number of hemorrhoids to be removed and the number of sessions.
