Hundred patients suffering from second degree and early third degree haemorrhoids were managed by rubber band ligation with suction gun on outpatient basis. Ninety one percent (91%) patients were symptom free after six weeks of treatment and remained so for one years. Seven percent (7%) patients had partial improvement in their symptoms, but two percent (2%) patients did not improve at all. It was concluded that rubber band ligation is best suited to the most patients with second degree and early third degree haemorrhoid. This procedure is effective, comfortable for the patient and can be easily carried out as outpatient. Moreover, it should be treatment of choice as palliation for severely bleeding third degree haemorrhoids, elderly unfit patients and pregnant women.Downloads
