Multiple Ligations for Varicose Veins (Lower Limb) Surgery

What is Multiple Ligations for Varicose Veins?

This procedure involves tying off and closing abnormal or dilated veins to prevent blood from pooling and causing further complications. It is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Pain, swelling, or heaviness in the legs due to varicose veins.
• Chronic venous insufficiency leading to discomfort and skin changes.
• Visible, bulging varicose veins that cause cosmetic or medical concerns.
• Recurrent varicose veins that do not respond to conservative treatments.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• The surgery is performed under local, spinal, or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's condition.
• Small incisions are made along the affected veins.
• The diseased veins are ligated (tied off) and closed, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
• Most patients can return home the same day and recover within a few days with proper post-operative care.
