摘要
Most patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) have hemorrhoidal bleeding. 87 banding procedures were performed for bleeding on 62 men with chronic SCI. Multiple bands per session were routinely necessary. Bleeding sites at or distal to the dentate line were also banded. There were no major complications. An outcome questionnaire was completed by 60 subjects (97%). Mean follow-up was one year, minimum one-half year. 73% of patients reported significant reduction in bleeding postbanding, and 20% reported some reduction. A majority of patients felt the procedure was useful or worthwhile overall. Absent sensation allows banding of external hemorrhoids, although symptoms of autonomic hyper-reflexia may occur in patients with lesions at T6 or above. Multiple banding is a safe and effective treatment for hemorrhoidal bleeding in SCI.
