How much time will it take for esophageal varices to regrow after initial band ligation ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to say: Banding of esophageal varices is a non-surgical treatment for these potentially lethal bleeding sites...Depending on the underlying disease, banding may completely solve this problem but recurrances of the varices is almost always due to underlying portal hypertension usually due to liver disease.
