Reply to "banding procedure done by Dr. Shen for pouch prolapse"

I have not heard of banding for pouch prolapse, but banding of hemorrhoids has been around for ages. I was just not sure how it would apply for prolapse. But, Dr. Shen is the expert when it comes to problem pouches and most treatments for prolapse are fairly major. So, anything that is a simpler outpatient procedure is a good thing. I did a bit of looking and found that Dr. Shen has been doing this for a couple of years. Here is a link that discusses the procedures he can do via endoscopy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6383159/
