Modern Varicose Vein Treatment: Walking the Same Day
About this video
Modern endovenous treatment allows many suitable patients to walk and go home on the same day. Dr Andrew Choong, vascular and endovascular surgeon in Singapore, explains what that means in practice, including bruising, tenderness, compression and individual advice about exercise and flying. He also explains why foam sclerotherapy, phlebectomy and open surgery still have a place: the treatment and recovery plan should fit the patient and the vein problem.
