Varicose veins, which are common in the society and aesthetically disturbing, is an important circulatory system disease that can cause ulcers and even serious wounds on the legs when it progresses. Medicana Health Group Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Yılmaz Deniz said that varicose veins can be treated on the same day without general anesthesia with radiofrequency, laser, foam or the method called “mini surgery”.
There are different treatment methods for varicose veins, which are common in people who have professions that require standing for a long time, advanced ages, women and overweight people. Medicana International Izmir Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Yılmaz Deniz said that varicose veins patients can be treated with radiofrequency, laser, foam or the method called “mini surgery” depending on the condition of the disease, without general anesthesia and discharged on the same day.
Emphasizing that varicose veins is an important disease that occurs when the valves in the vein system in the legs lose their function and the blood escapes back from top to bottom, which is the opposite of the normal flow direction, Deniz said, “Varicose veins are generally known as an aesthetic problem in the society, but when left untreated, it can deteriorate health by progressing to the formation of wounds on the legs in the progressive process. However, there are treatment options that are short, painless and do not require hospitalization.”
Specialized in varicose veins
Yılmaz Deniz said that in the Vascular Clinic of Medicana International Izmir Hospital, which specializes in varicose veins and circulatory disorders, besides options such as laser, foam, radiotherapy, they remove varicose veins that have become raised and curved from the skin surface through tiny skin incisions with the mini-surgery method. Stating that sedation is sufficient for patients treated with radiofrequency or laser, Deniz gave the following information: “In patients with mini surgery, spinal anesthesia allows the procedure to be performed safely and painlessly. Shortly after mini surgery or radiofrequency treatment, we integrate the treatment by performing foam sclerotherapy in the capillaries to ensure aesthetic appearance. We perform varicose vein treatment in the hospital environment in a safe, painless, health and aesthetic way in a special operating room environment we have developed for varicose veins. It is also advantageous for the patient to be discharged on the same day and return to daily life in a short time.”
Op. Dr. Yılmaz Deniz emphasized that varicose vein treatment should be performed without discoloration, scars and prominent external vein prominence on the legs and stated the following: “In our clinic, every stage of varicose vein treatment is treated in a healthy and aesthetically pleasing way that the patient will feel happy. First of all, the main treatment is closed, i.e. radiofrequency or laser treatment, and external appearance disorders can be eliminated with treatments such as mini-surgery and sclerotherapy. In addition, varicose veins that occur only on the skin without venous insufficiency can be treated cosmetically with foam sclerotherapy. The treatment can be performed in summer or winter, allowing the procedure to be performed safely and painlessly.”
