[Reporter Li Rongping/Taoyuan Report] An 80-year-old man surnamed Liao in Taoyuan City has suffered from varicose veins for 40 years.

In recent years, the earthworm-like varicose veins have not only continued to grow, but also spread to the thighs and calves. The entire right leg is far more swollen, painful, and heavy than the left leg, and it is difficult to walk. Accompanied by frequent cramps in the right calf when sleeping at night, I went to the doctor for a shock. Feeling that the old disease of varicose veins is faintly playing tricks, he recently accepted the doctor's suggestion to perform minimally invasive treatment of varicose veins, so that the serious varicose veins disease that has been entangled for 40 years can be completely cured.

Lin Zhe'an, a doctor at the Varicose Vein Center of Zhongli Tiansheng Hospital, said that after Liao Weng went to the doctor, he was diagnosed with "typical dilated saphenous vein reflux".

In order to improve the symptoms, Liao Weng received minimally invasive treatment of varicose veins. He adopted outpatient surgery and local anesthesia. He performed electrical ablation of the great saphenous vein of the main shaft and minimally invasive extirpation of branch varicose veins in one operation. Bed activity back home, without hospitalization.

After postoperative follow-up, not only the swelling and pain were relieved, but the varicose vessels were almost completely cleared.

Lin Zhean mentioned that varicose veins of the lower extremities are caused by the degeneration and abnormal proliferation of venous blood vessels, which allow the venous blood that should flow upward to the heart to stagnate in the lower legs, which can easily lead to poor venous circulation in the legs of patients, which is an irreversible and persistent disease that continues to deteriorate.

Depending on the patient's physical condition, daily routine, and climate change, different complications may subtly appear; mild cases include leg swelling and throbbing pain, eczema and itching in the affected area, and severe cases may cause repeated lower limb infections, thrombophlebitis, and wound ulceration that is difficult to heal.

Lin reminded that typical varicose veins are mostly caused by the degeneration and backflow of the great saphenous vein in the main axis, which then opens branches and leaves, derives branch diseased blood vessels, and causes symptoms; Varicose blood vessels are actually branches, like branches.

The minimally invasive treatment of varicose veins, which is widely known to the general public, is to close the great saphenous vein of the main axis with "laser/radiofrequency electrocautery/vein glue" in the blood vessel cavity, replacing the traditional invasive "great saphenous vein stripping" that requires general anesthesia. surgery".

As for varicose veins with bulging and protruding branches that are not treated with "laser/radiofrequency electrocautery/venous glue", it is generally recommended to use "minimally invasive varicose vein excision" or "foam sclerosing agent" in the same operation; especially It is a branched varicose vein with a varicose diameter of more than 5 mm. It is treated with "minimally invasive varicose vein excision". Only local anesthesia and a few 1 mm needle holes are needed to clear out the spreading and numerous branched blood vessels, achieving the purpose of perfect treatment , Not only is the risk low, but the patient also recovers the fastest and best after surgery.
