Rubber Band Ligation (RBL) is one of the most effective and least invasive treatments for internal piles. It takes just 10 minutes, requires no anaesthesia, and you walk out the same day.

How It Works

A small rubber band is placed around the base of an internal pile using a special device. The band cuts off the blood supply, and within 5–7 days the pile shrinks and falls off naturally during a bowel movement.
