In brief
Hemorrhoid Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the catheterization of the hemorrhoidal arteries to block their blood flow. Performed under advanced imaging guidance, this treatment requires no surgery or incisions. It effectively reduces bleeding and pain while ensuring a short recovery time and a rapid return to daily routine.
We are proud to offer Hemorrhoid Embolization, one of the most innovative and patient-friendly treatments available today for internal hemorrhoids. This procedure is performed by an Interventional Radiologist and focuses on treating the source of the problem with extreme precision.
How the Procedure Works
The procedure is performed in a high-tech catheterization suite.
- Access: A tiny catheter (a thin, flexible tube) is inserted through a small puncture in the groin or wrist.
- Navigation: Using real-time X-ray imaging, the physician navigates the catheter to the superior rectal artery, which supplies blood to the hemorrhoids.
- Embolization: Small metallic coils or specialized particles are released to reduce the blood flow to the hemorrhoid.
Result: Without their primary blood supply, the hemorrhoids shrink and the pressure is relieved, stopping the bleeding and pain.
Why Patients Prefer Embolization:
- Performed under local anesthesia or light sedation.
- No risk of rectal leakage or sphincter damage (common concerns with surgery).
- No need for painful post-surgical dressings.
- Exceptional success rate in stopping chronic bleeding.
