336 CONSECUTIVE DOPPLER GUIDED HEMORRHOIDAL ARTERY LIGATIONS (DGHAL)

Objectives: Our purpose is to expose a new surgical technique for the treatment of II-III degrees haemorrhoids with pain-less and complication free post-operative period, with a considerable improvement of clinic story and with a very short time for return to work or to normal daily activity.
