Endovenous ablation of trunk veins is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. A special probe that emits radiofrequency energy or laser beams is inserted into the affected vein. This energy seals the vein from the inside, causing blood to be redirected to healthier veins. The procedure is gentle, usually performed under local anesthesia, and requires only a short recovery time.

Endovenous ablation of trunk veins is a minimally invasive procedure to treat varicose veins, where a probe emitting radiofrequency energy or laser beams is inserted into the affected vein. This energy closes the vein from the inside, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
During endovenous ablation, a probe is inserted into the affected vein through a small incision. The probe emits radiofrequency energy or laser beams that seal the vein from the inside. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
Endovenous ablation is recommended for patients with symptomatic varicose veins, especially when conservative measures such as compression therapy are not sufficient. It is particularly suitable for larger trunk veins that are severely dilated or incompetent.
Endovenous ablation is less invasive than surgical procedures, requires only small skin incisions, and has a shorter recovery time. Patients often experience less pain and complications and can return to their normal activities faster.
As with any medical procedure, there are risks, including bleeding, infection, nerve damage, and thrombosis. There may also be temporary discomfort such as bruising, swelling, or a feeling of tightness in the treated vein. Your doctor will discuss the possible risks and benefits with you.
