Case description

Rubber band ligation is the most-used remedy for grade II and grade III hemorrhoids and is the standard to which other methods are compared. A band ligature is passed through an anoscope and placed on the rectal mucosa proximal to the dentate line. The tissue necroses and sloughs off in 1-2 weeks, leaving an ulcer that later fibroses. No anesthesia is required; complications are uncommon and usually benign.
