Venous disease & Endolaser
Film Endolaser >>>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In our practice, non-invasive and minimal-invasive techniques are performed to examine and treat venous disorders.
For this, high-tech instruments are available. Outpatient endoluminal laser ablation (Endolaser) of larger varicose veins (used increasingly instead of standard surgical removal of greater veins and side branches) and obliteration with foam sclerosing techniques are essential components of treatment. These are the advantages of minimal-invasive endoluminal laser ablation (Endolaser) as comparison with the surgical removal of the larger saphenous veins:
Endolaser | Operative Procedures |
|---|---|
very well tolerated | differently tolerated |
gentle treatment under local anesthesia | Narcosis/Partial Anesthesia |
Outpatient (can be at home | Inpatient |
decreasing risk for thrombosis | higher risk for thrombosis |
Comrpession stockings : 1 Week | Compression stockings: 4-6 Weeks |
one small scar max. 1 cm | several scars > 2 cm of the lower limbs |
no or barely bruises | several visible sites of bruising |
Saving of the vein, partly recanalisation after several years with normal function | Total vein removal and loss of vein |
Insufficiency of greater veins | Insufficiency of greater veins & reticular veins |
Covered by private insurance and some compulsory insurances | covered by compulsory insurance |
High-tech instruments are available as well, such as doppler and color-duplex sonography, phlethysmography, pressure measurement and D-PPG (muscle pump test –LRR). All stages of venous diseases are treated in the phlebological practice, from mild, unattractive varicose veins to serious venous disorders. Outpatient endoluminal laser ablation (Endolaser) of larger varicose veins (used increasingly instead of standard surgical removal of greater veins and side branches) and obliteration with foam sclerosing techniques are essential components of treatment.
