Varicose Vein Surgery (EVLA) in Karnataka

How is EVLA different from traditional vein stripping?

EVLA is done through a tiny puncture rather than a surgical incision, uses local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, and allows most patients to walk out the same day with a much faster recovery.

Is EVLA painful?

Most patients feel only mild discomfort during the local anesthetic injections, with the procedure itself generally well tolerated.

How soon can I return to normal activity?

Most people resume normal daily activities, including walking, the same day or the next day, with compression stockings worn for one to two weeks.

How effective is EVLA long-term?

EVLA has a high success rate in closing the treated vein, comparable to or better than traditional surgery, though as with any vein treatment, new varicose veins can occasionally develop elsewhere over time.

What are the risks?

Risks are generally low and include mild bruising, temporary numbness, or rarely a blood clot, all of which your vascular specialist will screen for and monitor.
