A.M.I. HAL Method



Note: View the HAL chapter of the video.
The HAL Method - Doppler Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation Procedure
  1. The patient is positioned in Lateral Recumbent or in a Lithotomy Position.

  2. Ultra Sound Gel is put on the A.M.I. HAL-Doppler Proctoscope before it is fully trans-anally inserted and slowly/gently turned until a typical Doppler sound of arterial blood flow can be heard.

  3. The identified arteries are ligated in a distance 3 to 4 cm proximal to the Dentate Line through the ligation window of the A.M.I. HAL-Doppler Proctoscope, thus reducing the blood inflow to the inner hemorrhoidal plexus. 

Good control

  • Rapid identification of terminal branches of superior hemorrhoidal artery

  • Precise, accurate ligation

  • Immediate confirmation

Minimum discomfort

  • Minimally invasive surgery

  • Ligation sutures are placed 2-3 cm above dentate line

  • General or MAC sedation

High success rate

  • 90% or greater success rate

  • No major complications reported

  • Ratio of inflow to outflow drops significantly

Performed on grades I-IV
