Laser coagulation of veins. Prices, reviews, ratings
General information
The procedure involves the action of a heat flow on the inner surface of the damaged vessel. As a result, painful symptoms are eliminated - swelling, heaviness in the legs.
The heat wave affects only the damaged wall, the surrounding tissues do not heat up.
This significantly shortens the postoperative period and reduces the number of bruises.
Procedure
Preparation
To undergo laser coagulation of varicose veins, you should undergo an examination by a phlebologist, who will draw up a phlebocard based on ultrasound duplex scanning. When drawing it up, the specialist takes into account:
- the ratio of varicose lesions to adjacent tissues;
- the damaged venous segment;
- the degree of ornateness.
Laser coagulation of veins procedure
The operation is performed under local anesthesia. A venous puncture is made and a conductor for the laser LED is inserted into it. Its tip is positioned as close as possible to the ostinal valve. At this stage, constant ultrasound monitoring is carried out, which allows the laser to be inserted as accurately as possible. Next, tumescent anesthesia of adjacent tissues is performed. The specialist performs coagulation, gradually removing the laser from the vein. Then the tributaries are sclerosed using the foam-form method. Cosmetic sutures are applied. The procedure takes from 30 to 40 minutes.
