A wound-free option for haemorrhoidal bleeding

Alongside colorectal care

For colorectal & GI

Dr Tarr offers haemorrhoid artery embolisation (the Emborrhoid technique), a day-case, image-guided option for bleeding haemorrhoids that avoids an anal wound and the associated pain of conventional surgery.

It suits patients with bleeding-predominant disease, those on anticoagulation, or those who wish to avoid surgical recovery. Dr Tarr is glad to co-manage and to refer on where surgery is more appropriate.
