Doppler Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation
It's a popular procedure that hasn't been around long. Kazumasa Morinaga, a Japanese surgeon invented the technique in 1995. Morinaga discovered that he could find a hemorrhoidal artery with an ultrasound machine and stitch it, making the symptoms go away for the most part, creating a whole new way to treat hemorrhoids. You'll be able to recover faster, and it won't hurt nearly as much as a lot of the other hemroid surgeries available. It just takes one visit to the doctor's office, and you're back on your feet in two days. It's a fairly new procedure, so it remains to be seen whether there are long term side effects, but things are looking good so far. There have been thousands of people who have benefited from this revolutionary new way to treat hemorrhoids; high success rates are promising.
