Is varicose vein surgery a major or minor procedure



Whether varicose vein surgery is a major or minor surgery generally needs to be decided on the basis of factors such as varicose veins in different parts of the body. Such as varicose veins of lower limbs, varicose veins of spermatic cord, varicose veins of esophagogastric fundus, varicose veins of hemorrhoids and other diseases.

1. Lower Extremity Varicose Veins: Lower Extremity Varicose Vein Surgery is generally a minor surgery and not a major surgery. Lower Extremity Varicose Vein Surgery is a relatively simple operation with fixed steps and is a minor surgery. Local anesthesia is usually taken and hospitalization is about one week.

2. Varicose veins: usually belong to the small type of surgery, can be divided into the traditional high ligation, laparoscopic spermatic vein ligation and microscopic spermatic vein ligation three ways. Varicocele is usually performed extraperitoneally and is therefore a minor surgery.

3. Esophagogastric fundic varices: if the bleeding is small and the bleeding point is limited, the surgery is not big if the injection of sclerosing agent can be carried out under endoscopic support, which is a minimally invasive surgery; if the lesion is serious and requires surgical treatments such as hepatic-portal shunt with splenectomy, then the surgery is big.

4. Hemorrhoidal varicose veins: i.e. hemorrhoids, surgical treatment generally belongs to minor surgery.

Various kinds of varicose veins need to be treated accordingly at an early stage, then the pain is small, the effect is good, and the operation is also as small as possible.
