The authors report their experience in the treatment of @entity6713 by rubber band ligation according to Barron's modified technique which foresees that the ligation is performed thanks to the suction of the hemorrhoidal node through the shaft of the band applicator connected with an aspirator. Eighty-four @entity1 underwent consecutively this treatment over a 18-month period; all were performed with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Forty male @entity1 (mean age 46.6 years) showed symptoms lasting since 9 years. Forty-four female @entity1 (mean age 42.6 years) showed such pathology since 8.9 years. 70.2% of the @entity1 were classified as III stage of disease, 19% II stage and 10.7% I stage. Thirty-four @entity1 had @entity158 , 49 @entity548 , 5 @entity417 , 21 @entity715 of the @entity6713 , 54 prolapse of the ano-rectal mucosa. These symptoms and signs were present in most of the @entity1 contemporaneously. Three @entity1 had previously received rubber band ligations, 4 hemorrhoidectomy, 1 sclerotherapy and 1 rubber band ligation and sclerotherapy. In the whole we performed 285 sessions and 304 rubber band ligations. Each treatment consisted of 3.4 sessions and 3.6 rubber band ligations. Recovery was achieved with only one session in 9 @entity1 ; 66.7% of them showed 1st degree disease. Multiple sessions were necessary in @entity1 with advanced disease degree; 100% at stage II and 94.9% at stage III. Sixty-five @entity1 did not refer immediate and long-term significant complications. The remaining @entity1 complained during the first hours about heavy feeling and/or tenesmus and two, 2 weeks after the end of treatment, showed @entity548 episodes, which cleared up spontaneously. In 5 cases it was necessary, during follow-up, to carry out a completion rubber band ligation and in 3 we performed trimming surgery at the out- @entity1 ' department by resection of the exceeding skin and anal mucosa. The technique enables to achieve results just as valid as those of traditional methods in the treatment of @entity6713 with the advantage that it can be performed in an out- @entity1 's department, it does not need local anesthesia, it enables the @entity1 to immediately return to his normal working activity and, restricted to the observation period (6- and 12-month follow-up) it allows a satisfactory control of the disease.
