Haemorrhoidal arterial ligation (HAL RAR)

Haemorrhoidal Arterial Ligation – Recto Anal Repair (HAL-RAR) is a new procedure, which with the use of an in-built miniature ultrasound device, the surgeon is able to accurately locate the arteries supplying the blood to the haemorrhoid. 

A stitch is placed around the artery and any prolapsing haemorrhoidal tissue can be repaired at the same time with the use of a long stitch to lift up the tissue. The haemorrhoids will shrink over a few weeks and the symptoms resolve.
