Yang H, Shi Z, Chen W, Chen T, Ding P, Wang J et al.
BJS Open 2022; 6: zrac064.
In this study that included 133 patients, the modified ligation technique took longer (mean 57 versus 31 min; P<0.001), but caused less postoperative pain, and a higher cure rate after six months (P=0.003).
Comment: A promising option.
