esophageal band ligation

Ligation of the esophagus with a band is a useful medical technique able to control bleeding from the esophagus. The esophagus is a tube that brings food from your mouth to your stomach. In some instances, some veins in the esophagus can swell and become enlarged; these veins are called varices. When these varices become too large, they can rupture and cause severe bleeding. Doctors treat this with a special procedure known as banding ligation esophageal varices to avoid this. This procedure entails putting small rubber bands around the varices. This technique helps to prevent the swollen veins from bursting and bleeding by wrapping these bands around them and cutting off the blood supply.

Minimally invasive procedure for managing varices

Band ligation of the esophagus is an equally simple and easily performed procedure. It is called “minimally invasive,” which means that it requires only a small cut and it does not hurt much. Patients typically don’t need to remain in the hospital long. In fact, most people return home on the same day as the procedure. They can return to their routine in a couple of days after the treatment. That makes it a very convenient option for most patients."
