Varicose Vein Surgery in Bethesda, MD
Large, bulging veins close to the skin's surface are often found in the lower legs and feet and are called varicose. Because we walk, stand and run on our feet, veins in our lower legs and feet receive quite a bit of blood pressure.
Varicose veins can be more than a cosmetic concern since they impede blood flow and hinder the return of oxygen-depleted blood from the lower legs and back to the heart and lungs. The usual cause for this is damaged valves within the veins that allow backward blood flow and pooling of blood resulting in enlarged veins. Untreated veins can lead to serious medical conditions with associated pain, inflammation and discoloration.
Ambulatory phlebectomy—small incisions or needle punctures are used to extract the problematic veins with a phlebectomy hook. A hook is inserted into a micro-incision in the leg. A section of the vein is hooked and then removed through the incision. With this procedure, a compression bandage is worn for two weeks. This minimizes swelling and discomfort and allows for proper healing.
About Capitol Vein & Laser Centers - Bethesda
Capitol Vein & Laser Center offers patients treatment with the latest in vein therapy at all three of their locations (Bethesda, MD Frederick MD and Charles Town, WV). The entire team, including Paul McNeill, MD, FACS and Garth Rosenberg, MD, FACS, is devoted to integrating the latest in vein technology with their practice. Both board certified phlebologists (2 of only 4 in the entire state of Maryland) are very active on the national level teaching vein diagnosis and treatment. With years of medical experience working with patients that suffer from varicose veins and spider veins, the Capitol Vein & Laser Center team offers varicose veins sufferers the finest treatments available.
Drs. McNeill and Rosenberg have both hosted numerous symposia at their office teaching other physicians current management principles and nuances of a successful practice. They are both also involved with clinical research documenting the safest and most effective treatment options available.
What sets this practice apart from other in the area is the doctors’ commitment to the comprehensive and full treatment of their patients. Not only is the source of venous reflux resolved with VNUS Closure, but the residual varicose veins that may be painful or cosmetically undesirable are addressed. All care is rendered by the physicians, who are very closely involved with patient care from the moment the evaluation begins. Patients have outstanding results and are quite willing to refer friends and family members for care to this fine practice.
