Dr. Mahesh Krishna specializes in laser treatment for perforator veins, a cutting-edge procedure designed to treat venous insufficiency. This minimally invasive technique uses laser energy to seal malfunctioning veins, improving circulation and alleviating symptoms like pain, swelling, and skin discoloration. With quick recovery and minimal discomfort, laser therapy is an effective solution for healthier veins.
Laser for perforators
Venous diseases are underdiagnosed and undertreated worldwide. Although advances in ablation techniques effectively treat axial venous disease, patients with advanced venous disease (CEAP.
Incompetent superficial veins are the most common cause of lower extremity superficial venous reflux and varicose veins; however, incompetent or insufficient perforator veins are the most common cause of recurrent varicose veins after treatment, often unrecognized. Perforator vein insufficiency can result in pain, skin changes, and skin ulcers and often merit intervention.
Pathologic perforating veins are known to play a role in advanced venous disease. Open perforator ligation, a procedure that proved to be morbid, painful, and ultimately unsuccessful for functional recovery in many patients. Subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery was a less invasive method to interrupt perforators with lower morbidity but without significant success at healing ulcers.
Newer techniques, including thermal ablation and ultrasound-guided (USG) sclerotherapy, have emerged to treat pathologic perforator veins. This facilitates ulcer healing and decreases recurrence while overcoming some of the negative aspects of previous options.
