Minsk Surgeon Tackles Advanced Varicose Veins with Innovative Laser Technique

Minsk Vascular Surgeon Showcases Treatment of Advanced Varicose Veins A vascular surgeon from Minsk, Belarus, recently shared a video detailing a complex varicose vein case and the planned treatment. The video, which has already garnered 538 views, shows a patient's leg with significant varicose veins and trophic skin changes. The surgeon, Dr. Gormash, explains that the patient's condition involves a severely pronounced venous insufficiency. "The varicose veins are complicated by trophic changes," Dr. Gormash explains in the video, "The tissue is very dense, almost like wood in density and consistency." The planned procedure involves vacuum-assisted laser ablation of the great saphenous vein and laser treatment of accessory veins on both legs. The surgeon notes that the size of the main vein (26 mm) makes the use of a standard light guide challenging. A specialized 2RingPro light guide will be used for the procedure. This case highlights the challenges in treating advanced varicose veins and the importance of using appropriate technology. The video serves as a valuable educational resource for medical professionals and patients alike.
