How the operation happens
There are several different methods of vein operational removal.The directly surgical intervention is the most proven, tested for a long time, but at the same time the most radical method.The surgeon makes two cuts in the leg: in the groin area and ankle.
Additional smaller cuts are made in the area of the main venous nodes.Through these cuts, the vein is excited.
The operation itself lasts about 2 hours.It can be performed under local and general anesthesia.A thin thread is inserted through the groin incision - a venous extractor that removes the vein.After the end of the operation, the seams are carefully applied.The main advantage of this method is that, in this way, even a large vein with a very wide clearance can be removed.
Important!The patient may get up 5 hours after the operation.
Sometimes there is no need to remove the whole vein, it is sufficient to get rid of its affected part.In this case, miniphlebectomy is performed.Two small cuts are made in the affected area of the vein, and this section is removed through them.
This is one of the latest methods to combat varicose veins.Its main advantage over the operation directly is the lack of cuts.Sclerotherapy of the veins of the lower extremities is performed using syringes with a thin needle.
The sclerosing is introduced into the vein.Under its influence, the inner layers of the vessel are destroyed, and the environment simply glues each other.As a result, the ship simply falls from the blood flow.
Attention!After 1-2 days, you will notice how the damaged vein disappears.
After such operation, the patient reaches his senses long before.An hour later, he can get up and move.In addition, with sclerotherapy, the likelihood of hematoma development at the injection site is lower.
Another innovative method is a laser operation.At the same time, small drills are also made through which a laser LED is introduced into the vein.
He warms the walls of the blood vessels and the glue.At the same time, all microorganisms die under the influence of temperatures, which reduces the likelihood of infection.
The consequences of vein removal in the legs with a laser are minimal.This procedure can be done literally on your way home after work, and the next day you can go back to work.
Important!Disadvantages include small accessibility: the procedure is expensive and not every clinic has the necessary equipment.
Rehabilitation and possible consequences
The post -operative period of the operation in the leg veins lasts literally a few hours.And the sooner the patient begins to move the feet, bend them, turn, create them, the shorter it will be.And the lower the risk of complications after surgery in the veins of the lower ends.
From the beginning, it is necessary to stimulate blood flow in the remaining vessels to contribute to the rapid rise of blood to the heart.To do this, you can also put your legs on the pillow so that your feet are above heart level.
The rehabilitation period after the operation of the removal of varicose veins from the lower ends may last about two months.At this time, it is necessary to use a compression mesh selected by a specialist.
As already mentioned, recommendations after varicose veins are very individual.However, some generalizations can still be made.In addition to using compression linen, it is important:
- Change your lifestyle to a more mobile.Without this, the varicose veins will return sooner or later;
- lose weight if there is overweight;
- Do special exercises to strengthen the leg muscles;
- Observe a diet with varicose expansion;
- Drink medicines for varicose veins.
The consequences of flexibility are usually minimal.Bruises may appear in sections or perforations, however, as a rule, they are quickly absorbed.In some people prone to the growth of connective tissue, scars at the site of the sections may form.If you know this feature, it is best to choose a less traumatic method.
After the operation of removing the vein in the leg, the seals and the pain are possible.This happens extremely rarely, but it still happens.In this case, you should urgently consult a doctor.
