Varicose Vein Treatments
The vessels that carry blood back to the heart are called veins. These veins contain valves that ensure unidirectional blood flow towards the heart. Blockages and excessive pressure in the veins prevent these valves from closing properly, causing backward leaks. As a result, the superficial veins in the legs expand, lengthen, and varicose veins form with a twisted appearance. Cramps at night, itching, bloating, and pain upon standing are common complaints. These complaints are not proportional to the size or number of varicose veins. Varicose veins are a disorder that affects people in terms of appearance, pain, cramps and psychological aspects. When it starts to negatively affect a person's life, it is necessary to investigate treatment options. In our hospital, varicose vein patients at all levels can be treated with the most up-to-date and safe techniques.
EVLA (endovascular laser) and Endovascular RF Ablation:
This surgery is used to treat enlarged lesions that appear on the surface of the leg. It is performed to close the veins and at the same time to correct the venous insufficiency that accompanies or causes the condition. In classical open varicose veins surgery, long and or short leg veins are removed. (VSM-VSP)is removed with the help of a special wire and the long and or short leg veins are tied where they connect with the deep veins to prevent back leakage. Instead of removing the vein, the vein can be closed using radiofrequency (Endovascular RF Ablation) or laser (EVLA - endovascular laser). He is discharged sooner and returns to work, and the risk of complications due to open surgery is reduced.
Vascular skin laser:
Especially for the treatment of thinner reticular-spicular varicose veins and varicose veins. It is used in the treatment of pinkish varicose veins called telangiectasia. It has an important place in the treatment of small threadlike varicose veins, as in needle treatment. By sending LIGHT at certain wavelengths to capillary varicose veins that cannot be entered with a needle, damage is caused to the patient vein and the dried vein is then dissolved by the body and destroyed. is done. The laser light used in these diseases targets "oxyhemoglobin", which gives blood its color. The fact that varicose veins are deeper and thicker limits the area the laser can reach. The density of this targeted substance varies depending on the disease to be applied. Therefore, the dose applied and the number of application sessions vary from person to person. In addition, some of the diseases can be completely cured, while some have partial recovery. Skin structure and skin color affect the treatment process. This situation cannot always be predicted before treatment.
Sclerotherapy and Foam Treatment:
Sclerotherapy is basically the infection of a substance into the relevant vein, causing this vein to collapse and inside. It is a treatment method that makes it disappear from sight by becoming unable to pass blood. This liquid substance can be injected on its own or by forming a foam. Different concentrations of medication are used depending on the diameter of the varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is used in small veins and capillaries with a diameter of up to 0.5 mm and 0.3 mm. Sclerotherapy is not a form of treatment that causes pain to the patient. For this purpose, very small diameter needles are used. Sessions are applied once a week. After sclerotherapy, it is recommended to wear an elastic bandage to compress the injection area and wear compression stockings during the treatment.
