Surgery To Remove Varicose Veins

If patients are experiencing severe discomfort or pain because of varicose eczema, and other treatment methods haven't helped control it, they might be a candidate for surgery to remove varicose veins. This procedure is called varicose vein stripping, and it removes the twisted and bulging veins from their thighs or legs. When patients undergo the procedure, their veins are treated, and their surgeon will also help prevent them from returning. Other names for the surgery are vein stripping with ablation, avulsion, or ligation. Before the procedure, the doctor will do a physical exam to find out where the non-working valves in the patient's legs are. They might do an ultrasound of the patient's legs to get a more detailed view. A duplex scan might be ordered, which is an imaging tool that allows individuals to see clear images of the affected veins along with the amount of blood flow.
