Minimally Invasive Therapy for Varicose
Minimally invasive therapy for varicose veins is a treatment option that uses small incisions or needles to treat varicose veins, which are enlarged, twisted, and often painful veins that can occur in the legs. These treatments are an alternative to traditional surgical procedures and aim to minimize pain, scarring, and recovery time for patients.
Some examples of minimally invasive therapies for varicose veins include:
-
Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT): This procedure uses a laser to deliver high-energy light to the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body.
-
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA): This procedure uses radiofrequency energy to heat the walls of the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body.
-
Sclerotherapy: This procedure uses a solution to collapse the vein, which is then reabsorbed by the body.
-
Microphlebectomy: This procedure removes varicose veins through small puncture sites.
All these procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis and take around 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Local anesthesia is typically used to numb the area, and patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure. After the procedure, patients are typically able to return home on the same day.
It's important to note that minimally invasive therapies for varicose veins are relatively new procedures, and long-term outcomes are not yet known. The procedure may have potential risks such as bleeding, infection, and allergic reactions. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment option for your individual needs and goals. Follow-up care is typically required to monitor the success of the treatment and to address any potential complications.
