Abstract

We describe a new accessory for rubber band ligation of hemorrhoids. By using the new instrument it is possible to abscind the elastic band applied to the base of the hemorrhoidal node without entailing traumatic interventions. Of a total of 62 elastic ligatures, this device was used in the last 18 procedures, and provided excellent results. This instrument enables the surgeon to carry out the technique in a more accurate way and, if necessary, rectify "dangerous mistakes" that can occur while accomplishing the procedure itself.
