Varicose Veins & Varicose Surgery

The varicose vein is the swelling of veins and other blood vessels under the skin. In most cases, this is not a problem and merely a cosmetic concern, as the color of the veins turns blue to black. But in many cases, the disease causes extreme discomfort for the patient with many people complaining of bleeding and pain in the region. There is no cause for this disease but it can be managed and treated.

Sanjeevani Multispeciality has a dedicated Vascular surgery department with a highly skilled and professional team of doctors which was started in 2013. The department has since then established the first and only Vascular surgery in central Kerala. We have successfully performed complicated surgeries, varicose venous, arterial, and dialysis access procedures.

Our track record of successful management of Varicose veins is the testimony of our hospital’s capabilities. We are equipped to treat and conduct therapies such as Microfoamsclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, Laser, and surgery. We have also successfully combined perforator surgery as well as sclerotherapy when indicated to provide relief to patients in as little time as taken in a single sitting.

Sanjeevani Multispecialty hospital has also been one of the few hospitals that have reported a more than 90% success/vein closure rate for more than 5 years now, the results that we are proud to say was presented at the University of Edinburgh in 2016 as well as national conference of Vascular surgery (VISCON 2016).

Our specialized clinics are well-equipped and staffed to take the best possible care of recurrent varicose veins, as evidenced in the referrals of various patients from our neighboring hospitals and also from hospitals from all over Central Kerala. Some of the treatments that we specialize in Peripheral Arterial Diseases:
At Sanjeevani we assess patients for arterial occlusive diseases. We have the best modalities for the assessment of patients which include an Ankle-Brachial index assessment and arterial Doppler assessment. We perform arterial reconstructive procedures to establish vascularity to the limbs. We have evaluated and organized multiple revascularization procedures.

Dialysis access Arterio-venous fistula creation: This is a major referral center for dialysis access fistula creation for renal failure patients to facilitate hemodialysis. This is a daycare procedure and patients return in a few hours. We have very good functional fistula numbers.
