Ligation of esophageal varices in Tanger

Gastroenterologist

The portal vein brings venous blood from the digestive tract back to the liver. In the event of cirrhosis or obstruction of the portal vein, the portal pressure increases and bypass pathways bypassing the liver develop: this is how varicose veins appear in the esophagus.

These esophageal varices can burst and cause heavy bleeding. Ligation is an effective endoscopic technique for destroying esophageal varices. It consists of placing rubber bands on the varicose veins which will strangulate them, causing them to obstruct and then necrosis.
