What Is Banding of Piles?

Outpatient banding, also known as rubber band ligation, is a minimally invasive procedure for treating piles (haemorrhoids). This quick and effective treatment involves placing a small rubber band around the base of the haemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply. The haemorrhoid then shrinks and eventually falls off, leaving behind healthy tissue.

Who Is It For?

This procedure is ideal for patients with:

Grade I or II Haemorrhoids: Small to medium piles causing bleeding, itching, or mild discomfort.

Haemorrhoids that do not respond to lifestyle changes or medications.

A preference for non-surgical, outpatient treatment with minimal downtime.
