In order to undergo treatment with varicose veins with a laser, just take the direction of a phlebologist.There is no need for hospitalization and prolonged preparation of the patient, therefore, laser treatment of varicose veins is performed on outpatient basis.
Impact occurs despite the patient's caliber.It can be a small vascular mesh, or a large nodal formation.The next day, the patient can completely return to the style of his usual life, with insignificant restrictions.
Before performing the procedure, a study of the affected area is conducted and a clear determination of its boundaries using ultrasonic research.Extremely is extremely important to determine the presence of branch branches.
Endovasal (or intravascular) laser acts on the principle of selective oxygen absorption and hemoglobin.The patient is in a horizontal position.The surgeon first processes the puncture, makes a microscopic puncture in its size, and presents a catheter in the lumen of the diseased vein, which is a flexible tube with light.With the help of the heat it releases, the ship walls are joined and created.As a result, the blood ceases to flow through Vienna, turns off from the general circulation, and then transformed into a blurred fibrous litter.
Once the catheter is extracted, a small sterile bandage is applied to the puncture.After intervention for the patient, wearing special underwear for varicose veins, which will create the necessary compression.
The advantages of the method
- Laser treatment is very effective and gives a real result.
- Rehabilitation after being a matter of hours.
- The operation takes no more than an hour.
- During manipulation, skin, fabrics and other vessels are not violated at all.
- The aesthetic advantage is that there is no smaller trace at the place of implementation of the catheter.
- The technique is suitable for people with a low pain threshold as it is almost painless.
- It is possible to be treated on several vessels, and on different limbs in a session.
- The possibility of combined exposure, for example, using sclerotherapy.
- The use of local anesthesia guarantees the minimum number of negative cases of intolerance, as is the case with general anesthesia.
To determine the need and possibility of such surgery, it is necessary to first do an ultrasound study and double scanning.
To whom this treatment is shown
At the moment, there are many ways to get rid of varicose veins.This is sclerotherapy, phlebectomy, radio frequency effects.
Varicose vein removal with a laser is performed if:
- Vein extensions have occurred up to 10 mm;
- A small number of branches affected by the disease is determined;
- The vein course is even, without flexion, in the presence of a curve for laser treatment, you can use two single -catheter LEDs, the obedience of heavy veins is a complete contraindication to the operation;
- It is also impossible to do the procedure in the presence of complications such as formation in the area of damage to trophic ulcers.
Many experts recommend laser treatment as a modern alternative to complete surgical intervention.Moreover, bringing such a non -leading procedure in the presence of a modern type of sufficient doctor's equipment and qualifications allows us to talk about a high degree of safety for the patient.
With severe and multiple pathology, it is sometimes necessary to perform several treatment sessions.How many of them are needed for each patient, only the doctor determines, depending on the duration and degree of neglect of the disease.An important factor in resolving such an issue is the age and general condition of a person.Sometimes, after the intervention, small rash can occur, which passes very quickly, and requires no additional exposure.
Rebellion
After surgery, the patient should walk, at a slow pace, but not less than 40 minutes.Then he should wear compression knit dresses and wear it constantly for about five days.
The first few days later it is not recommended to the sun's rights, engage in physical exercise, take a hot bath.
Contraindications
Despite sufficient safety, the therapy with the help of a laser has certain contraindications:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- The use of glucocorticoids and agents that contribute to photosensitivity to treatment.
- Expressed purulent processes.
- Severe chronic disease with the development of kidney, liver and pulmonary failure.
- Diabetes of any form.
- Thrombophlebitis.
