Varicose Vein Surgery

Varicose vein surgery encompasses a range of minimally invasive procedures designed to address varicose veins and associated leg discomfort. These procedures target malfunctioning veins that have lost their ability to efficiently return blood to the heart.

Here are some common techniques used in varicose vein surgery:

  • Endovenous ablation: This minimally invasive approach involves using a laser or radiofrequency energy to heat and close the diseased vein.
  • Sclerotherapy: A liquid solution is injected into the varicose vein, causing it to scar and collapse.
  • Phlebectomy: Small incisions are made to remove sections of the varicose vein through minimally invasive techniques.
Why It's Done?
  • Improve blood flow in the legs
  • Reduce pain, cramping, and swelling
  • Enhance the cosmetic appearance of the legs
Before Surgery:
  • Consultation: You’ll meet with Dr. Azeem to discuss your condition, the proposed surgical procedure, potential risks and benefits, and answer any questions you may have.
  • Tests: Depending on the surgery, you might need blood tests, imaging scans (X-rays, CT scans), or other tests to assess your overall health and plan the surgery effectively.
  • Preparation: You might need to stop taking certain medications, adjust your diet, and fast for a specific period before surgery.
During Surgery:
  • Anesthesia: You’ll receive medication to numb the area (local anesthesia) or put you to sleep (general anesthesia) depending on the type of surgery.
  • The Procedure: The surgeon performs the planned operation using specialized tools and techniques.
Post-Surgery:
  • Recovery Room: Following surgery, you’ll be closely monitored in the recovery room until you wake up from anesthesia and your vital signs are stable.
  • Pain Management: Medication will be provided to manage any pain or discomfort you experience after surgery.
  • Hospital Stay: Depending on the complexity of the surgery, you might stay overnight in the hospital or go home the same day.
  • Wound Care: You’ll receive instructions on how to properly care for your incision site to prevent infection. This might involve wound cleaning, dressing changes, and medication.
  • Rehabilitation: Physical therapy or occupational therapy might be recommended to help you regain strength, mobility, and perform daily activities.
  • Follow-up Appointments: You’ll schedule regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your recovery progress and healing.
Recovery:

Healing after surgery takes time and varies depending on the type and complexity of the procedure. It’s crucial to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to ensure a smooth recovery and minimize the risk of complications. This might involve activity restrictions, specific exercises, and dietary adjustments.
