LIGADURA CON BANDAS ELÁSTICAS EN HEMORROIDES GRADOS II–III: EFICACIA, SEGURIDAD Y RELEVANCIA DOCENTE EN EL CONTEXTO CUBANO.

Abstract

Tipo de artículo: Artículo original Introducción: La enfermedad hemorroidal es la afección proctológica benigna más frecuente y constituye un problema de salud pública por su impacto en la calidad de vida. La ligadura con bandas elásticas se ha consolidado como técnica ambulatoria mínimamente invasiva, con elevada eficacia y baja tasa de complicaciones. Objetivo: Determinar la utilidad de la ligadura con bandas elásticas en pacientes con enfermedad hemorroidal atendidos en el Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico Docente Ciro Redondo García durante el año 2025. Método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, observacional y prospectivo en 37 pacientes con hemorroides grados II–III tratados mediante ligadura con bandas elásticas. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas, clínicas, complicaciones y respuesta terapéutica. El procesamiento estadístico se efectuó con SPSS 22.0, empleando estadígrafos descriptivos. Resultados: Predominó el grupo etario de 51–60 años (29,7 %) y el sexo masculino (70,3 %). La enfermedad hemorroidal grado II fue la más frecuente (75,9 %). La mayoría de los pacientes requirió una sola sesión de ligadura (67,6 %). La complicación principal fue el dolor (8,1 %). La respuesta satisfactoria alcanzó el 94,6 %. Conclusiones: La ligadura con bandas elásticas constituye un procedimiento seguro, eficaz y de bajo costo, con impacto positivo en la práctica clínica y docente. Se recomienda su implementación como primera opción terapéutica en hemorroides grados II–III en el contexto cubano.

Article type: Original Research Article Introduction: Hemorrhoidal disease is the most common benign proctologic condition and represents a public health issue due to its impact on quality of life. Elastic band ligation has become a minimally invasive outpatient technique, with high efficacy and low complication rates. Objective: To determine the usefulness of elastic band ligation in patients with hemorrhoidal disease treated at Ciro Redondo García Teaching Hospital during 2025. Methods: A descriptive, observational, prospective study was conducted in 37 patients with grade II–III hemorrhoids treated with elastic band ligation. Sociodemographic, clinical, complications, and therapeutic response variables were analyzed. Statistical processing was performed with SPSS 22.0 using descriptive statistics. Results: The most frequent age group was 51–60 years (29.7 %), male sex predominated (70.3 %), and grade II hemorrhoids were most common (75.9 %). Most patients required a single ligation session (67.6 %). Pain was the main complication (8.1 %). Satisfactory response reached 94.6 %. Conclusions: Elastic band ligation is a safe, effective, and low-cost procedure with positive impact on clinical practice and medical education. It is recommended as the first-line therapeutic option for grade II–III hemorrhoids in the Cuban context.
