Today, the traditionally used surgical intervention has been replaced by more advanced and gentle methods, examples of which are laser and radio wave coagulation.
The therapeutic effect in the case of their application is due to the action of
laser radiation, which is a beam of high concentration electromagnetic radiation, with which you can burn certain tissues in the human body.
Laser coagulation is a bloodless treatment for varicose veins, which affects a huge number of people. Electromagnetic flux irradiation of the inner surface of the vessel, the so-called intravascular laser coagulation is an outpatient procedure. After the operation, the patient is at home, he will not need to comply with a special regime and refuse to perform usual tasks. The thermal effect of the laser on the vein wall causes its burn and aseptic inflammation; immediately after the intervention, the varicose vein begins to overgrow.
Laser coagulation of blood vessels is a high treatment efficiency and maximum patient safety. The introduction of the LED into the vein is performed by the Dopplerographic method, which leads to minimization of injury after surgery, in which case suturing is not required.
The place where the optical fiber was inserted is sealed with medical tape, a
compression stocking is put on the leg
. Vein compression significantly accelerates the process of fusion of varicose veins.
The advantages of laser intervention do not end there: coagulation is an opportunity to perform an operation without the appearance of cosmetic defects, a short recovery period, the ability to do without anesthesia and sclerosants, which can cause an allergic reaction. As side effects, slight changes in skin color can be observed at the place where the diseased vein was, uncomfortable sensations in the form of tingling and burning sensations that arose due to damage to nerve cells, a mild skin burn, which may be caused by its hypersensitivity.
Laser treatment is used in ophthalmology, gynecology, with its help they fight against vascular diseases and cosmetic skin defects.
Radio wave coagulation is a modern unique method of obtaining an incision and coagulation of tissues. Achieving a dissecting effect is provided by activating the molecular energy released by the cells when exposed to high-frequency radiation from the laser electrode.
The temperature of the electrode itself does not increase, since it does not have direct contact with the cells. Radio wave coagulation is the complete exclusion of pain during surgery, the minimization of tissue damage, the absolute exclusion of the possibility of getting a burn.
Radio wave surgery is used in the treatment of benign tumors, ingrown toenails, and has recently been increasingly used as an alternative method when it is necessary to treat common gynecological diseases, such as cysts, erosion, eroded ectropion, etc.
