Esophageal Variceal Ligation

Welcome to Complete Gastro Care Hospital, where we specialize in advanced treatment options for esophageal varices, a serious complication of liver cirrhosis. Esophageal varices are enlarged veins in the esophagus that can rupture, leading to life-threatening bleeding. Esophageal Variceal Ligation (EVL) is a highly effective procedure offered at our hospital to prevent bleeding and manage this condition.

Esophageal Variceal Ligation (EVL) involves the placement of small elastic bands around the enlarged varices to tie them off. This reduces the risk of bleeding by causing the varices to shrink and eventually scar over. EVL is performed during an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy procedure under sedation to ensure patient comfort.
