Objectives: To compare the outcome of Rubber band ligation with open hemorrhoidectomy in short term and its suitability in our social set up. Material and Methods: One hundred and twenty patients were enrolled from November 2007 to May 2009. They were equally divided into group A (open hemorrhoidectomy) and group B (Rubber band ligation). Postoperative complications, recurrence and patient’s sa...

Two hundred and sixteen consecutive patients seen for the first time with symptomatic haemorrhoids entered trials of conservative and minor surgical treatment. They were divided into two groups according to their pretreatment maximal anal pressure. Patients with pressures of 100 cm H2O (73.7 mm Hg) or more (108 patients) were treated by anal dilatation (37), sphincterotomy (34), or high-fibre d...

INTRODUCTION Nowadays the rubber band ligation technique is one of the most worldwide used and effective treatment of the hemorrhoidal disease. OBJECTIVES Our study has as a goal to analyze the success or failure of the rubber band ligation in hemorrhoids grade 1,2 and 3, to analyze their complications and to see if all symptomatic hemorrhoids should be treated with ligation at the first visi...

Background: Traditional rubber band ligation can improve the symptoms of hemorrhoids, techniques used vary among centers and degree hemorrhoids may also affect therapeutic efficacy post-operative outcome, especially for patients with grade III (hemorrhoid prolapses). This study aimed to investigate clinical modified (MRBL) in treatment internal hemorrhoids.

The ideal therapy for early stages of hemorrhoids is always debated. Some are more effective but are more painful, others are less painful but their efficacy is also lower. Thus, comfort or efficacy is a major concern. In the present randomized study, a comparison is made between infrared coagulation and rubber band ligation in terms of effectiveness and discomfort. One hundred patients with se...
