Esophageal variceal ligation

Esophageal varices are enlarged veins in the lower part of the esophagus that often form due to chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis. These veins can rupture and cause severe internal bleeding, which can be a life-threatening medical emergency.

The diagnosis and treatment of esophageal varices is performed endoscopically. Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a procedure done with an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to directly view the upper part of the digestive tract in order to ligate (tie off) the esophageal varices. This technique stops, prevents, and avoids future bleeding.

It is performed under sedation, which means the patient will be asleep and in a deep sleep. They will not feel any discomfort, pain, or other discomfort. It is not general anesthesia.
