Rubber Band Ligation

A Simple & Effective Non-Surgical Treatment for Hemorrhoids

At Proctocare General and Surgical Hospital, we offer Rubber Band Ligation (RBL) as a safe, quick, and effective treatment for internal hemorrhoids (piles). This non-surgical procedure is ideal for patients with Grade 1 or Grade 2 piles and offers long-lasting relief with minimal discomfort.

Performed by Dr. Aditya M. Ekbote, a trusted Consultant Proctologist and General Surgeon, RBL is a convenient daycare procedure that allows you to return home the same day.

What is Rubber Band Ligation?

Rubber Band Ligation involves placing a small elastic band around the base of the swollen hemorrhoid. This cuts off the blood supply, causing the hemorrhoid to shrink and fall off within a few days, usually during a normal bowel movement.

Advantages of Rubber Band Ligation:

• No Surgery Required – No cuts, no stitches
• Quick Procedure – Done in just a few minutes
• Daycare Treatment – Walk in and walk out the same day
• Minimal Pain – Mild discomfort that resolves quickly
• Fast Recovery – Resume daily activities within 1–2 days
