Advanced Varicose Veins Treatment in Bokaro

Diagnosis

The doctor first physically examines your legs and then suggests some tests to confirm the condition and its seriousness. A Doppler test is usually performed to track the blood flow in veins and how to go about the surgery if required. An ultrasound scan can also be suggested for the detailed inspection and to check for deep vein thrombosis.

Procedure or surgery:

Generally, varicose veins can be treated and cured with the help of procedures like:

1. Ligation and stripping
2. Sclerotherapy
3. Laser varicose veins surgery [simple surgery and endovenous surgery]
4. Radiofrequency treatment
5. Endothermal ablation
6. Ambulatory phlebectomy

However, vascular surgeons at Pristyn Care prefer to recommend and perform laser treatment for varicose veins. This procedure is one of the best and safest ways to eliminate varicose veins at an affordable cost and involves no major risks or complications, and minimal bleeding.

Usually, two types of laser surgeries are performed – simple laser treatment and endovenous laser treatment.

Simple laser treatment: This is preferred to perform outside of the skin and helps to treat small and tiny varicose veins rather than large varicose veins. And more than one laser session is required and scheduled every 6 to 12 weeks.

In this varicose veins treatment, laser heat is used to damage a vein and form scar tissue. This scar tissue will cause the loss of blood supply to the varicose veins, which eventually leads to the death of varicose veins. Over a period of time, the veins will disappear.

Endovenous laser treatment: This type of laser varicose veins surgery helps to treat large varicose veins in the legs.

1. Before performing this treatment, you will be given a light sedative or local anesthesia, which helps to numb the surgical area.
2. Then a small cut will be made in your skin to insert the catheter [a thin tube].
3. Next, a laser fiber will be passed through the catheter into the varicose vein.
4. Once the laser fiber is in place, the vascular surgeon will slowly remove or pull out the catheter.
5. By doing so, a high-energy laser emitted from the laser fiber will heat up the varicose veins, making them close and eventually lead to shrink.
6. Once the procedure is done, the cut or incision made will be patched up with badges.
