Varicose Vein Operations involve surgical and non-surgical procedures aimed at treating varicose veins—enlarged, twisted veins, typically found in the legs. These veins are caused by damaged valves that prevent blood from flowing efficiently back to the heart, leading to pooling and swelling. At Purohit Hospital, specialized procedures are offered to alleviate the pain, discomfort, and cosmetic concerns associated with venous disease.

Understanding Venous Disease and Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic issue; they can cause significant symptoms, including:

• Pain and Aching: A heavy or throbbing sensation in the legs.

• Swelling: Especially in the ankles and feet.

• Skin Changes: Discoloration or thinning of the skin near the affected veins.

• Cramping: Particularly at night.

The primary goal of Varicose Vein Operations is to redirect blood flow from the damaged veins into healthier ones, improving circulation and relieving symptoms.

Treatment Options at Purohit Hospital

Purohit Hospital offers a range of modern treatments, prioritizing minimally invasive procedures whenever suitable:

1. Endovenous Thermal Ablation (EVTA):

   • This is a highly common, minimally invasive procedure that uses either laser or radiofrequency energy.

   • A catheter is inserted into the affected vein, and heat energy is applied to the vein wall. This causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. The blood is naturally redirected to healthy veins, and the treated vein is absorbed by the body.

2. Surgical Ligation and Stripping:

   • This involves surgically tying off the affected vein (ligation) and removing a large segment of it (stripping).

   • This traditional procedure is highly effective, though it is more invasive than ablation and requires dedicated recovery time.

3. Sclerotherapy:

   • A medical solution is injected directly into the vein, irritating the lining and causing it to swell, seal off, and eventually fade.

   • This is often used for smaller varicose veins and spider veins.

4. Phlebectomy (Micro-Phlebectomy):

   • This involves removing the bulging varicose vein segments through tiny, precise incisions. The small incisions require few or no stitches and result in minimal scarring.

Benefits and Recovery

Choosing specialized treatment at Purohit Hospital ensures patients benefit from experienced surgical care and modern techniques:

• Minimally Invasive Focus: Treatments like EVTA and micro-phlebectomy mean less pain, faster recovery, and a quicker return to daily activities.

• Aesthetic and Functional Improvement: Operations not only relieve pain and discomfort but also significantly improve the appearance of the legs.

• Comprehensive Support: Post-procedure care, often including the use of compression stockings and recommendations for Physiotherapy Treatment for mobility, is provided to ensure the best long-term outcome.
