VARICOSE VEIN SURGERY

This surgery is required when the valves of the veins in the legs that keep blood circulating towards the heart are damaged or lacking, causing a build-up of blood in those veins leading to pain as a main symptom, along with heaviness and swelling in the legs. Our hospital uses the CHIVA technique, which has excellent results and is carried out using local anesthetic that enables the patient to be discharged a few hours after surgery. A minimum stay in the city of 2 days is recommended.
