    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La ligature élastique représente une technique de choix pour traiter les hémorroïdes de stade II. Les résultats à long terme (〉5 ans) ne sont cependant pas établis. Nous avons, sur une période de 18 ans et un suivi moyen de 5,6 ans, determiné les récidives après traitement par ligatures élastiques de premières poussées symptomatiques d'hémorroïdes de stade II chez 92 patients. Une analyse selon la méthode de Kaplan-Meier permet de définir la probabilité cumulative de succès de ce traitement de 0,77 (intervalle: 0,67–0,88) à 4.9 ans et de 0,68 (intervalle: 0,50–0,86) à 10,6 ans. Les résultats à long terme du traitement des hémorroïdes de stade II sont bons et justifient l'utilisation de cette technique comme traitement de premier recours.
    Notes: Abstract Rubber band ligation is a well established treatment of internal second-degree hemorrhoids. Up to now, the long-term results (〉5 years) of this method have not been assessed. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term success rate of rubber band ligation in patients with a first episode of second-degree hemorrhoids not responding to medical treatment (local cream with laxative). A total of 92 patients who were treated between 1979 and 1997 for second-degree hemorrhoids responded to a questionnaire. The need for complementary conservative (sclerotherapy, cryotherapy or rubber band ligation) or surgical treatment was considered indicative of relapse. The collected data were analyzed according to the Kaplan-Meier method. The average follow-up time was 5.6 years. There were 21 patients who suffered a relapse. The probability of successful treatment was 0.77 (range: 0.67–0.88) after 5 years and 0.68 (range: 0.5–0.86) after 10.6 years. We conclude that rubber band ligation represent an efficient long-term treatment for second-degree hemorrhoids. Approximately two thirds of the patients are cured after 5 years and more than a half after 10 years.
