What happens during the investigation?
Detailed exploration of the patient's problem in private vascular surgery, thorough investigation happens. During the anamnesis, targeted questions are asked to find out the background of the complaints, followed by specific vascular and surgical physical examination happens. During the test complex diagnostics is done to determine the most effective treatment for the complaint and the options available. The examination may include a complex diagnostic deep vein ultrasound scan, as well as the doppler circulation test. If necessary, laboratory tests, consultations or other additional instrumental examinations may be requested.
On the basis of the examination, the vascular surgeon makes a diagnosis, and recommends the most appropriate treatment for the patient. If surgical solution, its technology and the process of the procedure. provide detailed information the patient.

Ultrasound diagnosis of rectal blood vessels
To test the patency of blood vessels we use an ultrasound diagnostic procedure. This test is used to can also detect blockages, thrombosis, vasoconstriction and vasodilatation.
The ultrasound scan requires no special preparation and is painless. After the test, the body part can be moved and loaded.
During the examination, a special ultrasound gel is used on the treated limb, and then the ultrasound head is slid over the gel to obtain an image of the condition of the blood vessels. Ultrasound imaging is an important element of thorough diagnostics, provides a wealth of information for the vascular surgeon.
What surgical techniques do we use?
It uses the most modern surgical procedures to ensure that patients recover as quickly as possible and in the long term.
Radiofrequency varicose vein surgery
is an outpatient surgical procedure, performed under surgical conditions, with local or intravenous anaesthesia. The dilated varicose veins are closed by a radiofrequency catheter. It is a minimally invasive procedure with a recovery time of 2-3 days.
Adhesive (VenaSeal) varicose vein surgery
The procedure uses a special catheter to inject an adhesive into the vessel that blocks the entire length of the vessel, thus eliminating the back stenosis. There is no recovery time after the operation and no aftercare is needed.
Radiofrequency surgical treatment of spider veins, broom veins
through a thin needle into the problem vein, high-frequency sound waves are induced which, through heat, damage the target tissue, causing the vessel wall to close. After treatment, mild redness may occur and the effect is visible within 24-48 hours.
Sclerotherapy
outpatient treatment, which does not require anaesthesia. Using a thin needle, a substance is injected into the affected vein to destroy the vessel wall, so that at the end of the treatment the problematic vessel is permanently blocked, removed from the circulatory system and suctioned out.
Trust between the specialist and the patient is a key element in successful surgery and a full recovery. The specialist will determine the possible course of treatment on the basis of a thorough examination, and it is important to follow every step of the way. Trust in the specialist is what keeps the patient on the road to recovery. By following the doctor's instructions, using conservative therapies before or after surgery, and with the precise surgical intervention of a specialist, miraculous recoveries can be achieved!
