ABSTRACT
A retrospective review of 384 patients who had undergone rubber band ligation for hemorrhoidal disease by one surgeon from 1988 to 1993 is presented. The primary indications for treatment were rectal bleeding and prolapse. Eighty-nine percent of the patients were improved following treatment. In selected patients, rubber band ligation is an acceptable alternative to surgical hemorrhoidectomy.
