The Pak-China Friendship Hospital, managed by Indus Hospital & Health Network, has achieved another important medical milestone by successfully performing endoscopic hemorrhoid band ligation.

This procedure marks a significant advancement in providing modern and minimally invasive medical treatment to the people of Gwadar and Balochistan, Gwadar Pro reported on Wednesday.

Dr. Mohsin Ali Baloch, Consultant Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist, along with his team, successfully treated a patient suffering from internal hemorrhoids using this advanced technique.

During the procedure, a flexible endoscope is used to identify the hemorrhoids, after which a small rubber band is placed around their base. This cuts off the blood supply, causing the hemorrhoid to shrink and eventually fall off within a few days.

Dr. Mohsin Ali Baloch said that this procedure is safer, less painful, and less time-consuming than conventional surgery. Patients generally do not require a prolonged hospital stay and can return to their normal routine much sooner.

The procedure usually causes only minor discomfort and has a low risk of serious complications.

On the occasion, Head of Campus Dr. Nasir Sheikh said that their objective is to provide patients with high-quality healthcare services through modern technology and trained staff.

He said that endoscopic band ligation is another testament to this commitment. He added that the hospital would continue introducing such advanced medical facilities in the future so that the public could benefit from high-standard healthcare services.
