Endoscopic Vein Surgery

With endoscopic vein surgery, a patient's doctor makes a small incision in the skin by a varicose vein. From there, they will use a small camera on the end of a thin tube to thread through the inside of the vein. There is a surgical device on the camera's end, which the doctor uses to close the vein. This type of surgery usually isn't recommended for patients whose varicose veins are only a cosmetic concern. Instead, it's recommended in cases where the veins are severe enough to cause skin ulcers, which are sores or mucous membranes on the skin accompanied by tissue disintegration. Individuals who have this surgery can usually return to their normal activity level in a few weeks.
