Types of Varicose Vein Surgeries:

Open Varicose Vein Surgery:

Vein Stripping and Ligation: This is a common traditional surgical method employed in individuals with severe or large varicose veins, where these veins are ligated & removed through small incisions. However, this procedure involves a longer recovery period.

Minimally Invasive Procedures:

Sclerotherapy: It is employed in individuals with small- to medium-sized varicose veins and spider veins, which are damaged, scarred, & closed through injecting a small solution into the veins.
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA or EVLT): This technique is employed in individuals with larger varicose veins, which are sealed using heat energy by inserting a laser fiber into the vein.

How is Varicose Vein Stripping performed: before, during and after

Before surgery

Vein stripping normally takes 60-90 minutes. The patient may receive the following:

General anaesthesia: Under this anaesthesia, one will not feel any pain and will fall asleep.
Spinal anaesthesia: This will make the lower half of the body numb and relaxed.

During Varicose Veins Treatment

The surgical procedure includes two to three minor incisions in the leg around the damaged vein. A thin plastic wire is inserted in the vein through the incision present in the groin and is guided towards the cut farther down in the leg. The wire is then tied to the vein and pulled out through the lower cut resulting in removal of the vein.

After Varicose Veins Treatment

Post-operative care, ranging from initial hospital stay to a complete lifestyle modifications & medication adherence, improves the quality of life.

Initial Phase of Recovery

Patients are required to stay in the hospital for 1-3 days right after the surgery.
Patients might experience mild swelling, bruising, or tightness in the legs along with redness & discomfort at the incision site.
Proper rest is important during this phase, but you can make gentle movements & avoid strenuous activities.

Mid-Phase of Recovery

During this phase, ranging from day 4 to week 2, the symptoms, such as swelling and bruising, begin to improve. Additionally, during the healing period,
they might experience mild tenderness or feel hard lumps at the incision site.
Use compression stockings to reduce swelling in the legs.
The individual can return to their normal activities gradually but still avoid high-impact activities or strenuous tasks.
If you notice any symptoms such as severe pain, redness, warmth, or discharge from the affected area, please contact your doctor.
Take the proper medication as recommended.
Light walking promotes circulation but should be done within comfort limits.
Keep the treated area clean and dry; also, avoid swimming until it is completely healed.

Final Phase of Recovery

During this phase, from 3 weeks to 6 weeks & beyond of the recovery journey, the veins being treated appear darker before fading, but symptoms such as thickening of skin and discoloration get mostly improved.
To ease discomfort and swelling, keep your legs elevated using pillows.
Maintain a healthy weight & follow regular exercise.
Regular follow-up with your doctor is a must to prevent complications.
