Treatment of saphenous varicose veins Early varicose veins are usually treated conservatively by wearing medical compression stockings, elevating the affected limb and avoiding prolonged standing or sitting. If you want to completely eliminate the symptoms of varicose veins, surgery is the only effective way. It should be clearly pointed out that there is no medication for varicose veins, and any medication applied is ineffective. Timing of varicose vein surgery Many patients feel that varicose veins are not painful and do not consider it a major problem, and wait until complications arise after stage 4 before seeking treatment from a doctor. From the medical point of view, varicose veins should be treated before complications occur, that is, before stage 3. This is when treatment is less damaging to the patient and recovery is faster. In addition, for varicose patients who wish to become pregnant, try to treat the varicose veins before they become pregnant; otherwise, if complications occur during pregnancy, it will be more difficult to treat them considering the fetus. Specialists in vascular surgery recommend that varicose vein patients opt for minimally invasive surgical treatment as early as possible. ”Leg surgery” – solving varicose veins traditional surgery with large incisions, many incisions in the varicose veins of the lower legs, traumatic, painful, long time in bed, the patient’s hospital stay is usually about two weeks, easy to complicate deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs and other complications, and the surgery is often performed by non-vascular surgery specialists The recurrence rate is higher after surgery. After laser treatment, the saphenous vein remains in the body, and the branches of the root of the saphenous vein cannot be treated, so the recurrence rate is higher after surgery. Sclerotherapy is only applicable to the superficial varicose veins remaining after saphenous vein surgery, because it is difficult to occlude the main trunk of saphenous vein, the recurrence rate is very high with sclerotherapy alone, and it brings great difficulties to the surgical treatment. Wearing medical elastic stockings can only prevent the further aggravation of saphenous varicose vein, and cannot improve the existing varicose vein. Our cardiothoracic vascular surgery department, Dr. Meng Qingjiang, deputy chief of vascular surgery department, introduces the unique minimally invasive varicose vein surgery, which has smaller wound than traditional surgery, smaller trauma, more beautiful, faster recovery after surgery, and less likely to recur, so it is called beautiful leg surgery. Minimally invasive varicose vein surgery is suitable for a wide range of people: The treatment range is wide, as long as the varicose veins are clearly diagnosed patients regardless of age, gender and industry diagnosis can be minimally invasive treatment. No matter students, teachers, white-collar workers or workers, they can get out of bed on the same day after treatment, which does not affect their work, study and life. Advantages of Minimally Invasive Varicose Vein Surgery Minimally invasive surgical treatment is the most exact and effective and thorough method to treat saphenous varicose veins without recurrence, and the surgery uses advanced technology to completely and thoroughly strip the saphenous vein trunk and the superficial varicose veins. The incision is very small, only two incisions of 1.0-50px, and there is no need to remove stitches. The postoperative recovery is fast, and you can go to the ground on the day of surgery and be discharged from the hospital one day after surgery. The surgical incision scars are not obvious and do not affect young female patients wearing dresses. After recovering from the disease, it does not affect life and sports. Many small medical institutions claim “new technology, no hospitalization, no incision, no recurrence treatment of varicose veins”, but in fact it is cheap sclerosing agent (sodium cod liver oil acid-based) intravenous injection, which has the characteristics of high recurrence rate and high complication rate and is extremely deceptive. Its does not belong to the category of minimally invasive varicose vein surgery.
