Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) Surgery Overview:
Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) treats varicose saphenous veins in the leg. During laser EVLT treatment, a catheter is inserted into the vein through a small skin puncture. Heat is then applied to reduce varicose veins and swollen, bulging veins typically located on the thighs or calves, causing the vein wall to be destroyed.
This minimally invasive procedure aids in the regression of varicose veins and promotes blood flow through nearby veins. EVLT is effective, requires minimal downtime, and is commonly used to treat varicose veins caused by high blood pressure and various risk factors like hormonal changes and obesity.

Endovenous Laser Therapy Procedure, Recovery And Post-Procedure Care
Preparation: The preparation for EVLT of the saphenous vein involves a thorough history and physical examination, disclosure of medical conditions, restrictions on blood-thinners, and signing a consent form after understanding the procedure’s risks and benefits.
During the procedure:The procedure entails lying down while the doctor uses ultrasound guidance. Anesthesia is administered to the affected leg, followed by a small puncture in the vein. A catheter with a laser heat source is inserted into the vein, sealing it shut. Eventually, the vein shrinks and fades, enabling efficient blood circulation through healthy veins.
After the procedure: Endovenous laser ablation is an out-patient procedure that typically takes less than an hour. Post-surgery, monitoring will be conducted. The patient will be required to wear a compression stocking for a week after the procedure.
EVLT recovery: The procedure is an outpatient one, requiring no hospitalization, allowing the individual to resume normal activities and return to work within a day or two. A complete recovery might be seen in 2–3 weeks.
Post-procedure care: Postoperative care for endovenous laser therapy includes:
• Usage of medications for pain and swelling in treated legs.
• Application of ice packs for 10 minutes at a time for a few days to manage bruising, swelling, or pain.
• Wearing compression stockings for a few days to weeks to prevent blood pooling or clotting.
• Walk for 10 to 20 minutes three times a day for a couple of weeks, but avoid strenuous activities.
• Avoid standing, sitting, or lying down for long periods.
