Surgical intervention is always accompanied by elements of a conservative treatment. This speeds up the healing process after the surgery and improves the results.

Without surgery

This is the therapy of varicose veins can't be in contrast to the surgical treatment. Both ways are used together to complement each other. Non-surgical treatment is the only method used when surgery is contraindicated, or in the absence of need. Conservative methods, a non-healing varicose veins, but to improve health, slow the rate of progression of the disease.

Principles for a surgical procedure

What does the treatment process, that patient a remove veins. When planning the operation, determined by the doctor, which blood vessels must be removed, and selecting the most appropriate removal method. The most common are: phlebectomy, mini phlebectomy, a the effect of (EVL) or radiofrequency (RFA), sclerotherapy. Learn more about the indications, contraindications and ezek procedures can be found here.

Delete is scientifically called a phlebectomy. Traditionally, combined phlebectomy, which consists of several parts:

• Elimination of a source, a reflux (reverse blood flow) via the sapheno-femoral or sapheno-popliteal anastomosis;
• get rid of reflux is an incompetent perforating veins;
• removal of a major vein, the saphenous tributaries and may be extended.

The Modern surgical techniques

The surgery is a modern method are less traumatic can be performed on an outpatient basis. The rehabilitation period is a minimally invasive procedures faster, easier, mint, after a traditional surgery. Remember that before surgical manipulation requires training.

Sclerotherapy — elimination of spider veins by injecting a special medicine, which you glue them. The process is carried out under ultrasound control.

Mini-phlebectomy — removal through flat up to 2-3 mm. without a network, or scars is virtually absent.

Laser treatment Endovenous (EVL) is the minimally invasive technique to "seal" a faulty main vein with a special device. A light guide installed on a ship, and then transmit a the energy of a wall. Under local anesthesia, without incisions, and hospital treatment.

Radio frequency ablation — RFA is similar to evl in, except for the fact that the vessel wall is affected, not the radiation, the heat source which the radio-frequency oscillations.

RFA and evl in a two most common endovenous procedures a correction of the varicose veins. The goal is to eliminate the reflux in a large and/or small vein saphenous. Done on an outpatient basis, under local anaesthesia with ultrasound control incisions without a hospital.
