Video Varicial Banding (DAROB)

Test Details & Description

Video Varicial Banding (DAROB) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat esophageal varices, which are swollen veins in the esophagus that can lead to serious bleeding. During the test, a thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus to visualize the varices, and small elastic bands are applied to them to prevent bleeding. This procedure is typically performed under sedation, ensuring patient comfort while effectively managing the condition.
