Can hemorrhoids be removed during a colonoscopy procedure?

 

A colonoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that is used to detect colon polyps, bowel cancer, the grade of piles, and to assess symptoms such as bloody stools, unexplained diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc. Rectal bleeding is one of the most common indications for a colonoscopy. In most cases, the source of bleeding is usually internal hemorrhoids. While doing colonoscopy can piles be treated then and there?

Rubber band ligation is the most widely used treatment for internal hemorrhoids treatment. This treatment will require multiple visits. With the advent of endoscopic ligation, these internal hemorrhoids can be treated within a single sitting if there are only limited numbers of hemorrhoids present. This is decided by the piles surgeons who are performing the colonoscopy as they are better placed to assess how the hemorrhoids have proliferated and whether just one sitting should be sufficient. So if the piles surgeons assess that the rubber band ligation can be done during the routine colonoscopy examination, the ligation of the hemorrhoids or banding is carried out during the colonoscopy. The surgeon anyways sedates the patient and this may add 5-10 minutes to the procedure time.
