Phlebectomy
This is the treatment of varicose veins by laser coagulation of dilated veins without a large number of incisions. Laser coagulation is a modern treatment method when the affected veins are “sealed” from the inside with a thin light guide. Laser radiation heats the vein wall and closes it.
Who is suitable for varicose vein removal?
Phlebectomy (removal of varicose veins) is suitable for patients who have pronounced bulging veins, pain and swelling in the legs, and in the later stages - trophic ulcers.
How is varicose veins removed?
First, the doctor performs an ultrasound and determines whether the patient has varicose veins or swelling and leg pain are related to another problem. If the patient is diagnosed with varicose veins, the doctor recommends surgery and provides the patient with information about the tests that must be passed before the intervention. The patient chooses the date of the operation, passes the necessary tests, sends them to the doctor.
Usually the operation is performed under local anesthesia. On the eve of the operation, the patient should shave his leg and on the day of surgery do not eat or drink anything 2-3 hours before the operation. It is possible to perform the operation under general anesthesia, then the patient should follow the recommendations of the anesthesiologist before anesthesia.
After the operation on the leg (if the operation is on two legs, then on both legs), compression knitwear is worn, which must be worn for 2 weeks. The patient is in the clinic for 1 hour (after general anesthesia for at least 2-3 hours) and, having received the doctor's recommendations, can go home. Seams are removed for 7-10 days.
What is the cost of the operation?
The cost of varicose vein removal (phlebectomy) ranges from 16 000 to 24 000 UAH, depending on the severity of the condition.
