Rubber Band Ligation in Pune
What is Rubber Band Ligation?
Rubber band ligation (RBL) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure used to treat internal hemorrhoids. During the procedure, a small rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid. This cuts off its blood supply, causing the hemorrhoid to shrink, dry up, and fall off naturally within a few days.
It’s a quick and effective option for Grade I to Grade III hemorrhoids, and ideal for patients who prefer OPD-based, same-day treatments without the risks of surgery.
Why Choose Rubber Band Ligation in Pune?

How the Procedure is Performed & Recovery
Procedure: The patient is positioned comfortably. A special ligator instrument is used to place a small rubber band around the hemorrhoid base. The band cuts off blood flow, leading to natural shrinkage and detachment within 5–7 days. The patient can go home immediately after the procedure.
Post-Procedure Care & Recovery: After rubber band ligation, patients can resume normal activities almost immediately. Dr. Atul Patil recommends drinking plenty of water, following a high-fiber diet, and avoiding heavy lifting for 2–3 days. A mild sensation of fullness or minor bleeding may occur when the banded hemorrhoid falls off, which is a normal healing sign.
