Fields of treatment / Varicose veins treatment
Modern cosmetic treatment of varicose veins
Anesthesiology and intensive care focus on monitoring and maintaining patients' vital signs during operations.
The method is a minimally invasive procedure in which the superficial venous trunk is closed intravenously using a thin probe that is introduced into the venous trunk through a small wound.
The Clarivein method was developed in the USA in 2010 for the minimally invasive treatment of the veins of the lower extremities – the great and small saphenous veins, but also the venous connections.
Varicose veins or varicose veins most commonly affect the superficial venous system of the lower limbs. Today they are called one of the diseases of civilization.
Varicose vein disease is associated with a certain risk of developing deep vein thrombosis due to the slowing down of venous flow in the affected veins by so-called venous stasis.
Sclerotherapy is the intravenous administration of an active substance that causes destruction of the endothelium (inner lining of the vein) and damage to the collagen tissue of the vein wall.
Laser surgery is a modern, gentle method that reliably replaces the classic surgical operation of the veins of the lower extremities. Damaged veins are not surgically removed, but treated.

Modern treatment of varicose veins
Modern treatment of varicose veins Modern treatment of varicose veins is based on accurate ultrasound diagnosis with color duplex ultrasound. Using color mapping, the extent of venous damage and the places where the surgical intervention will be most effective are precisely determined. The goal is to perform a painless, effective outpatient procedure with quick recovery, practically immediate return to work and the best possible cosmetic effect.
This is made possible by the development of mini-invasive surgical methods, the essence of which is the gentle closure of the main superficial venous trunk with thermal energy (radiofrequency, laser), or a combination of mechanical and chemical action on the venous endothelium (ClariVein). The venous trunk then remains in the limb and is gradually absorbed. The remaining small veins are treated with miniphlebectomy procedures, in which the veins are gently removed from tiny 2-3 mm punctures using fine hooks. Small wounds do not need to be sewn, they are only covered with special tapes.
The classic operation of varicose veins “for the insurance company”, where the affected vein trunk is torn out of the limb, is abandoned mainly because of the unsparing nature, pain, longer recovery and a much worse cosmetic effect.
At our workplace, all vascular procedures are performed with the participation of the anesthesia team, which consistently ensures maximum comfort and safety of the patient during the entire procedure and in the postoperative period.
Modern surgical procedures and their modifications
Due to the nature of the disease, only surgical treatment is effective. Pharmacotherapy and compression therapy only have a supportive effect. Currently, the following modern surgical procedures and their modifications are most commonly used:
