Description
Our vision is to develop excellence in the management of venous disorders, specifically varicose veins.By assembling a multidisciplinary team of clinicians interested in the treatment of varicose veins, we aim to achieve both academic and clinical excellence.
We feel that the management of venous disease is a specialized field that has long been neglected in SA.
The assessment and understanding of venous disease is complex, thus needing a dedicated multidisciplinary team approach.
We offer therapies apart from open surgery ( laser, radiofrequency ablation, foam sclerotherapy, ambulatory phlebectomy) that has been the gold standard treatment in the rest of the world in the last 10 years, but has not been available in South Africa.
These therapies offer pain-free, non-surgical and very effective treatment of venous disease.
These therapies are offered as in-room procedures, not requiring hospitalization.
Our aim is thus to revolutionize the assessment and treatment of v

VNUS procedure: under sedation and local anaesthetic, a catheter is inserted into the varicose vein at the level of the knee and advanced to the groin. The catheter is carefully positioned under ultrasound guidance and the vein is destroyed using high frequency waves.
Foam sclerotherapy: a special foam chemical is injected into veins causing the vein walls to stick together. This leads to destruction of the vein over the next few weeks.
Ambulatory phlebectomy: specialized hooks and needles are inserted under local anaesthesia and ultrasound guidance to remove veins.
Venous surgery and stripping: this traditional therapy will be offered to selected patients who are a high sedation risk, or whose anatomy is not suitable for the above procedures. This is done under general anaesthetic and requires hospitalization.
