HALO Procedure Information

The Haemorrhoidal Artery Ligation Operation HALO is designed to eradicate piles without the need for cutting or a general anaesthetic.

The operation uses a miniature Doppler ultrasound device to locate the arteries supplying the haemorrhoids as they come down from the rectum under the lining of the bowel. The device also has a small window which allows a stitch to be placed around the artery thus cutting off the blood supply to the pile. During the course of the procedure all the arteries supplying the piles are located (up to 6) and tied off. Over the next few days and weeks the pile shrinks away and the symptoms resolve. The window is also used to perform the RAR (Recto Anal Repair) to reposition the tissues and reduce the prolapse providing you with a virtually pain free operation with minimal time away from work and normal activities.
