Rubber band ligation for hemorrhoids at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure for grades II and III internal hemorrhoids. The treatment involves placing a small elastic band at the base of the hemorrhoid to stop blood flow. This process is performed by surgeons with advanced qualifications in colorectal surgery and proctology, providing a path to relief without major surgery.
During the procedure, the doctor places a band around the hemorrhoid. This causes the tissue to dry up and fall off naturally within a few days. No incisions or sutures are needed, which significantly reduces physical stress. Patients typically return to their daily activities within 1 to 2 days after the treatment.
The medical team includes Dr. Carlos García Vásquez and Dr. César Lévano Linares. Both specialists are PhD holders with a Master in Coloproctology and carry certification in Da Vinci robotic surgery. Dr. Carlos García Vásquez serves as an Associate Head at Infanta Elena University Hospital, bringing high-level surgical experience to the clinic. Dr. César Lévano Linares specializes in laparoscopic and robotic colorectal surgery, focusing on minimally invasive techniques.
Centro PAD performs surgical procedures at the HLA Moncloa University Hospital in Madrid. This facility holds ISO 45001 certification and was recognized by Newsweek as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals in 2023.
