In a HALO operation, arteries supplying blood to the hemorrhoids are scanned using a small ultrasound device.

Once located, stitches are positioned around the arteries and effectively cutting off the blood supply to the swollen piles. During the procedure, up to six arteries supporting the piles are tied eventually making the pile shrink away over the weeks of healing and presto, resolved hemorrhoids problem is attained.

Based on researches, increased blood pressure in the blood vessels of the rectum and anus are one of the causes of hemorrhoids. Other cause is the result from over straining when on the toilet due to lack of fiber in ones diet; being over weight; being frequently constipated and diarrhea; lifting heavy object often; during pregnancy and being over the age of 50.

Having the stitches done in the lower part of the rectum, HALO procedure is known to be painless, since there are no pain nerves located in that area. Being virtually painless, HALO can be performed only with mild sedation.

Though patients can opt for general anesthetic procedure on their bottom if they wish, it is necessary only if the affected area is too large or the hemorrhoids are in multiples. Because the blood vessels supporting the hemorrhoids are accurately located, it has a higher degree of success compared to sclerotherapy or rubber band ligation.

Risk

With the veins properly ligated, the patient responds better with less risk of bleeding after the procedure. Having this kind of technology and procedure in treating hemorrhoids, patients are given relief and satisfaction after the recovery compared to the conventional treatments that involve greater risks and often excruciating pain.

After Care

Normally after the procedure, patients can continue with their activities and can go back to work within a day or two with only a minimum of discomfort, which could be just a mild throbbing in the rectum.

However, care should be taken in sticking to a high – fiber diet, especially during the recovery period, when the fissures and wounds are still healing. Constipation and hard stools may cause other veins to swell and develop new hemorrhoids. This will complicate the healing process and cause new problems to the patients.
