Abstract
Introduction: this study aimed to assess the results of Endoscopic hemorrhoidal ligation (EHL) for internal hemorrhoids. Methods and Results: A total of 23 patients with internal hemorrhoids were treated by EHL and the results were noted. EHL was found to be a safe and effective to treat internal hemorrhoids which are not contraindicated for the procedure. The result of EHL was satisfactory in both Grade 2 and 3 hemorrhoids, however grade 2 hemorrhoids required lesser number of repeat procedures. Also, EHL can be safely done as a office procedure and is not accompanied by any significant post procedure pain or complications. Conclusion: EHL is a safe office procedure and can be offered as the first choice for symptomatic grade 2 and 3 hemorrhoids.
