Surgical treatment of hemorrhoids. Surgery for hemorrhoids is reserved for those people who do not respond to more conservative therapies.

Hemorrhoid ligation is one of the most common outpatient treatments available for patients with hemorrhoids. In this procedure, a rubber band is applied to the base of the hemorrhoid to hamper the blood supply to the hemorrhoidal mass. The hemorrhoid will then shrink and fall off within 2-7 days. Rubber band ligation can be performed in an ambulatory setting.
