Venal surgery

Modern surgical disciplines try to keep the aesthetic effect of the intervention to a minimum; blood vessel surgery does its best on this front to reduce the scaring.
Patients with varicose veins all undergo Doppler – echographie which shows a picture of the circulation in the lower limb?
This road map is indispensable in the planning and best therapeutic approach to the operation. The treatment often consists of a surgical operation using either, a classic stripping technique (removal of the blood vessel) or, a VNUS catheter which uses radio frequencies to seal the vein so that the vein can remain in place. The second technique is less invasive permitting the patient to quickly return to his normal activities.

Varicose veins being treated for cosmetic reasons are treated either using LASER or a sclera compression using foam.
