This 49 years old lady suffering from varicose veins was admitted as a day case for left long saphenous vein endovenous ablation and multiple phlebectomies under local anaesthesia for symptomatic varicose veins.
This procedure removes the faulty vein from the circulation by causing it to block. The procedure works by damaging the lining of the vein with heat caused by a radio frequency element introduced into the vein. The visible varicose veins in the leg are removed by making tiny incisions and pulling them out of the body (multiple phlebectomies/ stab avulsions).

of the operation, but the surgeon put my mind at rest, very friendly, quite jovial, major fever ease, a little bit painful but nothing horrendous, and now I've had it all done, I feel fine and I'm just ready to go home. So you are satisfied with the operation? Absolutely satisfied, yes, yes. With the ablation and removal of the broken back? Yes, no, no problem at all. I'm perfectly satisfied, and the staff are very nice too. Thank you. So when can you go back to work? He did say I could go back to work tomorrow, but because I drive, I can't, so it will be Monday. But I'm not complaining. Very great. Thank you very much. You're welcome.
