What is Laser Varicose Veins Surgery?
Laser Varicose Veins Surgery, specifically Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT), is a minimally invasive procedure to treat varicose veins—enlarged, twisted veins often appearing on the legs due to faulty vein valves. Using laser energy, the procedure closes off the affected vein, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins, improving both appearance and symptoms.
Common indications include:
- Visible, swollen, or twisted veins in the legs
- Leg pain, heaviness, or swelling
- Itching, skin discoloration, or ulcers near veins
- Varicose veins causing discomfort or cosmetic concerns
At Dr. Abhishek Saxena’s Clinic in Bareilly, we offer advanced EVLT for effective varicose vein treatment with minimal downtime.
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) Procedure
Dr. Abhishek Saxena performs Laser Varicose Veins Surgery using state-of-the-art EVLT technology. The procedure involves:
- Administering local anesthesia to numb the treatment area
- Inserting a thin catheter into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance
- Passing a laser fiber through the catheter to deliver energy, sealing the vein
- Removing the catheter, with the treated vein eventually being absorbed by the body
- Applying a small bandage, with no stitches required
Benefits of EVLT:
- Minimally invasive with a small incision (about 2mm)
- High success rate (up to 98% vein occlusion at 1-week follow-up)
- Rapid recovery (often same-day discharge, resuming normal activities within 1-2 days)
- Minimal scarring and reduced post-operative pain
- Lower risk of complications compared to traditional vein stripping
Dr. Saxena’s expertise ensures precise and effective treatment for patients in Bareilly.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Accurate diagnosis is critical for effective varicose vein treatment. Dr. Saxena uses advanced diagnostic methods, including:
- Physical Examination: To assess visible veins and symptoms.
- Doppler Ultrasound: To evaluate blood flow and valve function in veins.
- Venous Color Doppler: To map the extent of venous insufficiency.
These methods help determine the severity of varicose veins and suitability for laser treatment.
