Consultation/Protoscopy:

• You will be greeted by our friendly staff and have a chaperone allocated to you.
• You will then have a full clinical assessment with Mr von Roon who is a leading London teaching hospital colorectal surgeon.
• He will perform clinical examination including a proctoscopy, where a small plastic telescope is inserted into the back passage to confirm a diagnosis.
• Once a diagnosis is made he advise you whether your haemorrhoids are suitable for treatment and discuss the treatment options with you. You can then decide when to schedule treatment

Banding/Ligation procedure:

• A band is placed tightly around the haemorrhoid.
• This only takes a few minutes and doesn’t generally require local anaesthetic.

The Rafaelo procedure:

• Takes about 10-20 minutes and is performed under local anaesthetic
• You will be reviewed at 4 weeks once it has taken time to fully resolve.
