Hand made colonoscopic band ligation treatment in two different cases of colorectal disease

E
ndoscopic band ligation (EBL) is effective for treatment of both variceal and non-variceal upper GI hemorrhage. But its
use has rarely been reported in the treatment of colorectal disease. EBL provides an alternative to other endo-therapeutic
modalities and may be particularly useful in certain cases of colorectal hemorrhage. Argon plasma, OTSCs (over the scope
clip) or some novel advenced device are not be readily available in our countries due to economic reasons. So we produced our
own ''hand made colonscopic band ligator'' using some silicon and plastic materials used in the automotive industry. We used
this device as a salvage treatment in two different cases when alternative treatment option was not available. The cases are as
follows: Case 1. Colonoscopy was performed in first case because of iron deficincy anemia. 72-year-old man patient had been
receiving coumadin and aspirin because of coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation. Giant polyps with thick pedincule
were seen in the descending colon at 55 cm distance to the anal werge. Colonoscopic band ligation (CBL) was successfully
applied in this patient due to electrocauter device malfunction. Case 2. An 55-year-old man with operated prostate carcinoma,
radiation proctitis and rectal ulcer developed hematochezia and anemia active bleeding from a rectal ulcer with vascular
component was identified and treated with CBL for colonoscopy.
