Swollen, twisted, and purple veins in the legs are recognized today as much more than just an aesthetic concern; they are a serious health issue that lowers quality of life. The old “stripping” method, which involved surgical removal of the vein, has been replaced by modern technologies that offer a painless experience and rapid recovery. At the pinnacle of these technologies is Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA), popularly known as “laser varicose vein surgery.”
Op. Dr. Nebiye Tüfekçi Varer, with her expertise as a cardiovascular surgeon in her Kartal clinic, restores her patients’ health in a single session without requiring days of hospitalization or surgical incisions. With this advanced contemporary treatment, varicose veins are closed from the inside, putting an end to that heavy and tired feeling in the legs.
What is EVLA and How is it Performed?
Endovenous Laser Ablation essentially works on the principle of “sealing from within.” The procedure begins by identifying the exact location of the problematic vein using Doppler ultrasound. A very thin laser fiber is then inserted into the vein through a point as small as a needle hole.
-
The Power of Laser Heat: As the laser fiber is moved through the vein, it emits controlled heat. This heat causes the enlarged and dysfunctional vein walls to shrink and stick together.
-
Regulating Blood Flow: Since this closed vein no longer carries blood, the body automatically redirects blood flow to the healthy deep veins. Consequently, the pooling and pressure sensation in the legs decrease immediately.
-
Local Anesthesia Comfort: The procedure is typically performed using only local anesthesia (tumescent anesthesia) to numb the area. This means the risks of general anesthesia and the fear of being “put under” are things of the past with this treatment.
Why Choose EVLA Over Classic Surgery?
In today’s fast-paced world, no one wants weeks of bed rest. The advantages EVLA offers over classic surgery transform this process from a “medical treatment” into a “healing journey” for patients:
-
Sutureless and Scarless: Since no incisions are made in the skin, there are no stitches and, therefore, no permanent surgical scars left on the legs.
-
Immediate Mobility: Patients can stand up and walk as soon as the procedure is finished. In fact, it is possible to walk out of our clinic approximately one hour after the operation.
-
Minimal Pain and Bruising: The tissue damage and bruising caused by physically pulling the vein in the classic method are virtually non-existent in the EVLA method.
-
Permanent Results: The probability of a laser-closed vein reopening is significantly lower compared to traditional surgical methods.
Kartal Varicose Vein Doctor: The Meticulousness of a Surgeon
No matter how advanced laser technology is, guiding that laser fiber at the correct angle within the vein is a matter of expertise. Focusing on varicose vein treatments in the Kartal region, Op. Dr. Nebiye Tüfekçi Varer personally manages every stage of the operation under Doppler ultrasound guidance.
These interventions, performed with the precision of a cardiovascular surgeon, ensure the protection of the nerves and tissues surrounding the vein. Nowadays, a successful EVLA application is not just about closing the vein; it is about ensuring the patient returns to their normal life with painless steps as soon as possible.
What to Expect After the Procedure?
The recovery process after EVLA is incredibly practical. You are usually asked to wear compression stockings for a few days and avoid heavy sports for a short period. However, you do not have to wait to return to work or daily household chores. While it takes a few weeks for the veins to fully fade and for the leg to take its final shape, the feeling of lightness it creates is noticeable from the very first day.
