A ligation method on 42 cases of prolapsing bleeding internal hemorrhoids, who were admitted to the department of general surgery, The 1 st Army Hospital during the period from December 1 st, 1965 to August 31 st, 1966 was presented.
Ligation of the internal hemorrhoidal plexus without excision, allowing the varix to become necrotic and slough off, is one of the earliest and simplest methods of treating prolapsing bleeding hemorrhoids.
The three major deterrents to conventional excisional hemorrhoidectomy are pain, loss of time from work, and expensive hospitalization.
This study revealed that the ligation method requires minimal hospitalization, reduces pain, and time loss to. a bare minimum.
The end result following internal hemorrhoidal ligation is comparable to that following excisional hemorrhoidectomy.
