What kind of technique is used, what does a “minimal-invasive” mean?
With the help of modern surgical technique, it is possible to avoid big cuts. For example with the help of Kryo-Technique, the big stem veins can be removed via a cut in the groin without an often bothering second cut on the lower leg. Other long vein sections can also be removed with the help of smallest incisions, and sometimes there is even no need to stitch them. By means of endovasal laser technique, stem veins can be destroyed via a single punction.
What should be kept in mind after the operation? For 2-6 weeks, a compress is needed, first with bandages, later with compression stockings. That helps to reduce bruises and normalises blood flow. Movement (walking) is in this period often good and helpful. To double-check the result we carry out a follow-up controlling 6 weeks after the intervention. This gives you and us a chance to check the results and a possibility to discuss possible further measures together.
Where does the surgery help?
Should I undergo an operation on veins on an outpatient or an inpatient basis? Actually, both are possible. Due to modern technique, nowadays the interventions are also performed on an outpatient basis. The complications rate of operations on an inpatient and an outpatient basis is pretty much the same. Some interventions require a supervision and care after the operation.
Can spider veins appear again? Since congenital connective tissue weakness cannot be eliminated by surgery, varicose veins can in fact appear again. Scientific research has shown that more then 60 % of all operated veins can appear again. Therefore, there has been an effort to develop less invasive procedures. For the sake of prevention, we recommend a veinous training. Regular follow-up controlling could also help to recognise a reccurrence case early enough and to keep a possible further intervention small.
