“…It has proved to be the most successful, nonoperative method of treating 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd degree haemorrhoids [2]. 4 th degree haemorrhoids should be treated surgically [1]. The success rate for BL reaches 78% of cases, the remaining 22% requiring further BL [2].…”

“…Reloading with bands was required after each application to each haemorrhoid [1]-this was awkward and time-consuming. Equipment was developed which used suction to draw the tissue, so the operator could use one hand to hold the proctoscope, and the other to apply the suction and fire the band.…”

Background: Single session, multiple Band Ligations (BL) for haemorrhoids has been practised in the UK for more than 40 years. It has been claimed that multiple BL in a single session can cause pain and discomfort [1]-[3], although this issue has not been formally assessed in the past. Our study was designed to examine this claim. Methods: Patients were randomly chosen for this study from rectal bleeding clinics and endoscopy lists. On diagnosis of haemorrhoids at proctoscopy these patients were offered, and treated with multiple BL. Results: 50 patients were treated with BL for 2 nd and (the majority) 3 rd degree haemorrhoids. All patients needed 2 -3 haemorrhoids banded. 76% stated that they had no pain or discomfort, 14% complained of slight pain and 10% complained of very slight discomfort. 90% were successfully treated, and 97% stated that they would be prepared to undergo further treatment if necessary. Conclusion: Single session multiple haemorrhoids band ligations are a safe procedure which can be performed by surgeons in outpatient clinics with minimal discomfort for patients.

“…Barron [13] in 1963 developed his own instrument (Barron's ligator) and applied it for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids with astonishingly good results. This modality has been quickly accepted worldwide because it is cost effective, safe, and simple to apply and is well tolerated by patients.…”
