Elastic band ligation is a highly effective procedure for treating dilated veins (varices) in the esophagus or internal hemorrhoids, safely eliminating them through endoscopy.
A small elastic band is placed at the base of the affected tissue, cutting off its blood flow. This causes the vein to shrink and disappear naturally within a few days.
It is one of the treatments with the highest success rate, avoiding in many cases the need for more complex or painful surgeries.
It is an outpatient procedure. The patient may feel slight pressure or discomfort on the first day, but recovery is notably faster than with traditional surgical methods.
