Abstrakt: Rubber band ligation of hemorrhoids has had a low incidence of complications until recently, when five deaths resulted from bacterial septicemia or toxemia. The case presented describes a severe soft-tissue infection following banding successfully treated with antibiotics, surgical debridement, and hyperbaric oxygen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
