Abstract

Purpose: The aim of our study
is to evaluate patients who have undergone the Rubber Band Ligation (RBL)
procedure for hemorrhoids in our clinic between January 2015 and January 2016
retrospectively.

Methods: We retrospectively
reviewed the records of patients who underwent LBL for hemorrhoid complaints in
our clinic between January 2015 and January 2016.  Patients who were missing or whose records
were not available were not taken to work.

Findings: Twenty-five patients
underwent a rubber band ligation in our polyclinic. Because the data of the two
patients were not fully accessible, the study was performed on 23 patients. Of
the patients, 10 were female and 13 were male. The average age was 33.4
(18-67). LBL was applied to patients with symptomatic 2nd and 3rd degree
hemorrhoidal disease who wanted to be treated with non-surgical methods. 15
patients had grade 2 and 8 patients had grade 3 hemorrhoids. There were
bleeding in 16 patients (69%), prolapse in 6 patients (14%), difficulty in
defecation in 8 patients (53%), pain in 14 patients (61%) and pruritus in 11
patients (49%). There was pain in 1 case and minimal bleeding in 1 case whom
was treated with RBL.

 Results: In conclusion, LBL method is the
safest, effective, and easily applicable method and it is the most frequently
used treatment method of non-surgical treatments for hemorrhoids. However, this
method can be seen as a disadvantage that the microscopic examination of
falling hemorrhoid pakes can not be performed.

Hemoroit Tedavisinde Lastik Band Ligasyon Sonuçlarımız

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı Ocak
2015 – Ocak 2016 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde hemoroit şikayeti nedeniyle
Lastik Band Ligasyon (LBL) yöntemi uygulanan hastaları retrospektif olarak
taramaktır. 

Materiyal Metot: Geriye dönük
olarak Ocak 2015 – Ocak 2016 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde hemoroid şikayeti
nedeniyle LBL uygulanan hastaların kayıtları incelendi. Verileri eksik olan
veya tam olarak kayıtlarına ulaşılamayan hastalar çalışmaya alınmadı. 

Bulgular: Polikliniğimizde 25
hastaya lastik band ligasyonu uygulandı. İki hastanın verilerine tam
ulaşılamadığı için çalışma 23 hasta üzerinden yapıldı. Hastalardan 10’ u kadın, 13’ ü erkekti. Yaş ortalaması
33,4 (18-67) idi. LBL semptomatik 2. ve 3. derece hemoroidal hastalığı olan ve
cerrahi dışı yöntemlerle tedavi olmak isteyen hastalara uygulandı. 15 hastada
grade 2, 8 hastamızda grade 3 hemoroit pakesine işlem yapıldı. 16 hastada ( %
69) kanama, 6 hastada (% 14)  prolapsus,
8 hastada (% 53) dışkılama zorluğu, 14 hastada (% 61 ) ağrı ve 11 hastada da (%
49) kaşıntı şikayetleri vardı. LBL uyguladığımız hastalarımızdan 1 olguda ağrı
ve 1 olguda da minimal kanama gözlendi.

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak LBL
yönteminin güvenli, etkili, kolay uygulanabilen bir yöntem olması ve ayaktan
tedavi protokolü olduğu için hemoroitin cerrahi dışı tedavilerinden en sık
kullanılan tedavi yöntemidir. Fakat bu yöntemin uygulanma sonrasında düşen hemoroit
pakesinin mikroskopik tetkikinin yapılamaması bir dezavantaj olarak görülebilir.
