VARICOSE VEIN SURGERY
( EVLA & SCLEROTHERAY)
Varicose Vein Surgery
Advanced Treatment with EVLA & Sclerotherapy for Healthy Legs
Varicose vein surgery is most important to do when you have a swollen, twisted veins that usually appear in the legs and can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort. At RR Hospitals, we offer cutting-edge treatments including Endogenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) and Sclerotherapy to effectively treat varicose veins with minimally invasive procedures that promote rapid recovery and lasting results.
Understanding Varicose Veins
Varicose veins occur when the valves in the veins that help blood flow back to the heart become weak or damaged. This leads to blood pooling and vein enlargement, most commonly in the legs. Symptoms can include:
- Visible bulging veins
- Aching, heaviness, or burning sensations in the legs
- Swelling and cramps, especially after long periods of standing
- Skin changes such as discoloration or ulcers in severe cases
If left untreated, varicose veins may lead to complications like skin ulcers, bleeding, or deep vein thrombosis.
Treatment Options at RR Hospitals
We specialize in two primary minimally invasive procedures for varicose veins:
1. Endogenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
EVLA is a modern laser technique where a thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein through a small puncture. Laser energy heats and seals the vein from inside, causing it to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. This treatment offers:
- Minimal pain and discomfort
- No need for surgical incisions
- Quick procedure time, often under an hour
- Outpatient treatment with rapid return to normal activities
- High success rates and low recurrence
2. Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a specially formulated solution (sclerosant) into smaller varicose veins or spider veins, causing them to shrink and fade over time. It is ideal for treating:
- Small to medium-sized varicose veins
- Spider veins and reticular veins
- Residual veins after EVLA treatment
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Initial Consultation:
Our vascular specialists perform a detailed evaluation including ultrasound Doppler studies to map the vein abnormalities and determine the best treatment plan.
Procedure:
EVLA: Under local anesthesia, a laser fiber is guided into the vein, delivering laser energy to close it off.
Sclerotherapy: The sclerosant is injected using fine needles directly into targeted veins.
Both procedures are minimally invasive, typically performed on an outpatient basis.
Post-Treatment Care:
Patients may experience mild bruising or tenderness but can usually resume daily activities immediately. Compression stockings are recommended to support healing and improve circulation.
