Hemorrhoids are
a very common anorectal disease defined as symptomatic enlargement and/or
distal displacement of the anal cushions, which are protrusions of the anal
mucosa composed of loose connective tissue, smooth muscle, arterial and venous
vessels. Although constipation is the cause of hemorrhoidal disease, diarrhoea
also triggers the formation of hemorrhoidal disease. Treatment options depend
mainly on the type and severity of hemorrhoids, the patient's preference, and
the physician's expertise. These treatments include diet and lifestyle change,
medical treatment, office-based treatments and surgical treatment. Hemorrhoid
band ligation treatment was first described by Blaisdell in 1958 using suture
material. Afterwards, the rubber band took the form of ligation. It is the most
widely used hemorrhoid surgery technique since its description. The technique
can be defined as placing a rubber band on the peduncle of the hemorrhoid,
which is vacuumed with a special ligator. As a result, hemorrhoid band ligation
treatment is a reliable and effective method if used with the correct
indication. Although the surgery is technically easy, many complications such
as pain, urinary retention and pelvic sepsis can occur.
