Safe & Effective Management of Esophageal Varices at Surat Gastro Centre
Variceal Banding, also known as Endoscopic Band Ligation (EBL), is a highly effective, non-surgical procedure to treat bleeding esophageal varices—a serious complication often caused by liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
Esophageal varices are enlarged veins in the lining of the esophagus. They usually develop when blood flow through the liver is obstructed, often due to cirrhosis, causing pressure to build up in the portal vein. This can lead to vein rupture and life-threatening bleeding.
Variceal banding is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure where small elastic bands are placed around swollen esophageal veins to stop active bleeding or prevent future bleeding.
This procedure is quick, painless, and typically done during an upper GI endoscopy.
