Life-threatening perineal sepsis after rubber band ligation of haemorrhoids.
Techniques in Coloproctology 2009 June
Rubber band ligation is a widely performed procedure in the outpatient setting for symptomatic haemorrhoids. This method is generally considered to be safe and easily performed. However, there have been reports of severe sepsis following interventions for haemorrhoids and the majority of patients had undergone rubber band ligation. We present a patient who had undergone elective rubber band ligation of haemorrhoids who presented with severe anal pain with difficulty in micturition. She deteriorated rapidly over a period of 3 days and succumbed to fulminant perineal sepsis.
