| Abstrakt: | The popular technique of rubber band ligation for the treatment of symptomatic internal hemorrhoids was first described by Blaisdel,[1] but popularized by Barron in 1963.[2] The latter treated 143 patients in the office setting, where banding is typically performed, with excellent results. This relatively simple technique has been used to successfully treat grade 1 and 2 hemorrhoids. Some selective cases of grade 3 hemorrhoids can be treated with this technique as well. It is not necessary to have the patient take an enema prior to the procedure, and no sedation is required. The principle behind the procedure is that by causing ischemia to the hemorrhoidal tissue by placing a rubber band, the tissue will slough off in approximately one week leaving behind an ulcer, which allows it to heal and fix the tissue to the underlying muscle.
