Understanding Banding:
Banding, also known as variceal banding or hemorrhoid banding, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins in the esophagus (esophageal varices) or hemorrhoids. During the procedure, a small rubber band is placed around the base of the varix or hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply. This causes the varix or hemorrhoid to shrink and eventually fall off, preventing further complications such as bleeding.
Why is Banding Done?
- Treating esophageal varices, often associated with liver cirrhosis, to prevent or stop bleeding.
- Managing hemorrhoids that cause discomfort, bleeding, or pain.
- Preventing recurrent variceal bleeding in patients with portal hypertension.
- Non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment for patients seeking minimally invasive options.
Benefits of Banding:
- Quick recovery
- Minimally invasive
- Effective symptom relief
- Outpatient procedure
