Varicose vein surgery

The operation is performed under local anesthesia, and in most cases does not require stitches. The surgeon removes the varicose veins from under the skin through tiny 2mm incisions with special micro crochets. This procedure leaves no visible scars. After the procedure, compression therapy is applied to the limbs.

Blood and urine tests are necessary. It is not advisable to shave the legs immediately before the procedure associated with epidermal damage. The patient should be fasting for the procedure (6 hours without food, 2 hours without drink).

Exercise and pressure on the legs should be avoided (for example, by wearing tight pants). On the first day, the patient is supposed to rest with his legs at hip height, every hour the legs should be stretched for a few minutes, by taking a short walk around the apartment.

The indication for surgery is varicose veins of the shunts.
