It often happens that treating varicose veins is impossible with non-surgical methods, and then you need to resort to more radical measures. The Department of General, Visceral and Vascular Surgery at the Friedrichshafen Clinic offers treatment for varicose veins with the most modern methods. The latest generation equipment, the latest technologies and experienced specialists will make sure that you forget about the disease forever. The team of doctors of the department has been led since 2011 by Dr. Gerbig, who is a specialist in the field of vascular surgery, phlebology and endovascular surgery.
Treatment of varicose veins with surgical methods is outpatient. That is, there is no difficult postoperative period, and the patient can immediately go home. The cosmetic effect of the procedures is simply amazing - small scars remain at the site of penetration into the skin, which even you will not notice.
This is one of the main operations that involves the treatment of varicose veins . It is carried out in several stages:
If the vein is not completely affected, then short stripping technology is used. This means that not the entire vessel is removed, but only part of it. This treatment of varicose veins preserves the valves, and the procedure does not in any way affect the blood supply to the body.
Treatment of varicose veins with stripping is quite fast - in a maximum of three hours, the specialists of the Friedrichshafen clinic will perform the work at the highest level. The operation can be performed under local anesthesia, and the ability to work returns literally the next day.
This method is not independent, but acts as an addition to other interventions - stripping, phlebectomy. The essence of this method of treating varicose veins is that special rings made of elastic materials or nylon loops are placed on the affected vessels. Their number varies from 1 to 3 for each diseased vein. They clamp the area, and the blood supply stops. Thanks to this, the vessel takes on its original shape, and then it is already possible to carry out more comprehensive treatment for varicose veins , prescribed by the doctor.
Usually the manipulation does not require general anesthesia. If the patient wishes or there are severe negative reactions to the procedure, medicated sleep can be used.
This is a minimally invasive intervention that has excellent cosmetic and therapeutic effects. The varicose vein, as with stripping, is removed through a puncture in the skin. Only there is only one and it is tiny in size.
Treatment of varicose veins in this way is possible using a special hook. It is passed through a small incision into the skin and the affected vessel is caught. The vein is pulled out and cut off. In the same way, all areas affected by the disease are removed. Treatment of varicose veins is effective in this case, because it has virtually no side effects and quickly gets the patient back on his feet. Small hematomas may only appear at the sites of penetration, but they disappear after 2-3 weeks of using healing ointments. Small scars remain on the skin, which are almost invisible to others.
The operation also refers to minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of varicose veins . The technique is unique because it becomes possible to completely control the process - it is not carried out blindly, as in previous methods, but allows you to see everything. Treatment of varicose veins using transluminal phlebectomy takes place in several stages:
Treatment of varicose veins in this way is possible using the TriVex system. Before the intervention, a substance is injected into the patient’s skin to easily separate the veins from the surrounding tissue.
The method has many positive aspects. Treatment of varicose veins, namely the rehabilitation period, goes very quickly; after a couple of days the patient does not feel any discomfort. You will only need to wear compression stockings, and in some cases take venotonic drugs or perform therapeutic exercises.
Treatment of varicose veins at the Friedrichshafen clinic will bring you almost instant relief, get you back on your feet quickly, and will not have any negative effects.
Treatment of varicose veins in the legs in Germany is carried out using the latest techniques that are used all over the world and have proven their effectiveness.
Stripping for varicose veins in Germany
The most common treatment for varicose veins in the legs is surgery. Stripping is the removal of the affected area of the vein. The intervention is performed using a thin small probe. Two small incisions are made: one on one end of the affected vein, the other on the other. Thus, the vein is exposed, and a probe is inserted into its lumen.
The head of the probe is attached to the end of the vein (in the place where the probe came out of it) and the entire vein is pulled out through this probe. The advantage of stripping is that there is no need to make a large incision along the entire affected vein; it is enough to make two small incisions (cosmetic effect). Stripping is used in the middle and late stages of the disease. Most often, the vessel that runs along the inside of the leg from the ankle to the groin is removed. Stripping is an effective treatment for varicose veins without medications. The probability of relapse of the disease after stripping is only 2%.
In German clinics, short stripping is used - only the affected areas of the diseased vein are removed. This improves the cosmetic effect and reduces recovery time after surgery (quick recovery period, no severe pain). Stripping varicose veins helps avoid the appearance and recurrence of trophic ulcers. There is a small risk of complications after stripping - scars may appear at the incision sites.
Stripping is usually carried out:
Phlebectomy for varicose veins in Germany
Phlebectomy is a surgical treatment for varicose veins. Currently, miniphlebectomy is most often used (access to diseased veins is through punctures rather than through incisions). Pathological veins are removed with a scalpel through small punctures in the skin (1-3 millimeters). The operation is performed under general or epidural anesthesia. After the operation, no stitches are applied; the edges of the postoperative wound are closed with a special plaster. Before phlebectomy, preparation is required:
Laser surgery for varicose veins in Germany
German clinics employ highly qualified employees who use the latest technologies in their work. The most modern and gentle method of treating varicose veins is laser treatment. Laser surgery is a treatment without incisions; a microscopic puncture is enough to insert a special needle into a vein (no skin incision is required).
Under ultrasound control, a light guide is inserted into the trunk of a varicose vein and brought to the place where there is a lesion, causing “wrinkling” of the wall of the pathological vein. The positive side of laser treatment is its accuracy - the effect is only on the affected vein, and the tissue nearby is not affected. The introduction of the light guide needle is carried out under local anesthesia. The vein is “brewed” along its entire length. The procedure is performed under ultrasound control, so the risk of the laser hitting nearby structures is close to zero.
In terms of effectiveness, laser treatment is not inferior to traditional surgical intervention - phlebectomy. Laser surgery has the following advantages:
Laser treatment requires certain preparation. First, the patient must undergo tests:
On the day when laser treatment is prescribed, you do not need to specifically limit yourself in anything. No special preparation is required, since the anesthesia has no side effects, you can have breakfast. After the procedure, the patient must wear compression garments and walk for 40 minutes. Then there is no need to follow any special regime, the only mandatory condition is that compression stockings must be worn without taking them off for two days after laser treatment. Then you should definitely see a doctor for a follow-up examination. The duration of wearing compression underwear is up to two months; starting from the third day after the procedure, stockings can be removed at night. After laser treatment, the patient should be under the medical supervision of a doctor.
Ultrasound therapy for varicose veins in Germany
One of the most popular methods of treating varicose veins in Germany is ultrasound therapy using the Vnus Closure method. It is an alternative to the traditional treatment of varicose veins – surgical vein extraction. During vein extraction, two incisions are made - in the groin and calf muscle, then the diseased vein is removed using a vein extractor.
Vnus Closure is a minimally invasive procedure that is significantly less painful than venoestration or laser treatment. According to patients, during treatment they feel virtually no pain. Ultrasound treatment can be performed on an outpatient basis; hospitalization is not required. A small incision is made in the skin and a special catheter is inserted into the diseased vein. Radiofrequency energy is delivered through the catheter. When energy is applied, the vein walls compress and the pathological vein closes, then the catheter is withdrawn. After the procedure is completed, a simple bandage is applied to the incision site.
Advantages of ultrasound treatment:
Sclerotherapy for varicose veins in Germany
An innovative method for treating varicose veins of the legs is sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy is one of the most common non-surgical methods for treating varicose veins. A certain drug is injected into the superficial veins, causing them to close and disappear. The method is minimally invasive, simple, and gives excellent results. Sclerotherapy can be combined with other treatment methods - laser technology, phlebectomy, etc.
Hemodynamic treatment for varicose veins in Germany
Hemodynamic treatment of venous diseases (venous insufficiency). The method of hemodynamic treatment of venous insufficiency is successfully used in German clinics. During the treatment, external constriction of the vessels occurs - in this way, “wrong” blood flow is eliminated. Access to the vessels is carried out through micropunctures of the skin (in this case, pathological veins are not removed).
Endoscopic vein dissection for varicose veins in Germany
Treatment of chronic venous insufficiency is carried out using endoscopic vein dissection. Endoscopic vein dissection is a minimally invasive surgical procedure during which the connecting veins between the deep and superficial veins are excised. The intervention is carried out using an endoscope. As a result of the procedure, normal blood circulation is restored in the pathological veins. The risk of infection is minimal, since the intervention is performed using the hook method (minimal surgical intervention). The method of endoscopic vein dissection is indicated for patients with chronic venous insufficiency.

Varicose veins are a common disease that most often develops in women.
If you have swelling of the legs, constant aching pain, or the formation of spider veins on the skin, you should consult a phlebologist in specialized clinics in Germany.
German specialists are highly qualified and have extensive experience in treating varicose veins using various methods.
Timely consultation with a doctor, patience and consistency in dealing with the problem at the initial stage will help get rid of the disease and its external signs.
The most popular and effective methods of treating varicose veins in Germany:
Venous sclerotherapy is an excellent alternative to surgical treatment of varicose veins.
The method is based on the use of an ultra-thin instrument, with which a sclerosant is injected into the blood vessel.
A specially developed substance seals the affected veins, replacing them with connective tissue.
This type of treatment for the disease is considered the most painless and safe for the patient.
Another modern non-invasive method of treating varicose veins is laser.
This type of therapy is effective at the initial and middle stages of development of venous disease. During treatment, the affected veins are destroyed and sclerosed by directed radiation from a light guide installed in the vessel. Laser treatment of varicose veins has a number of advantages:
Some forms of the disease require surgery.
In this case, mini-phlebectomy (removal of varicose veins) is performed in German clinics.
This operation is performed in advanced stages of the disease for all types of saphenous veins.
Modern technologies make it possible to perform removal almost painlessly and minimize damage to healthy tissue during the operation.
The rehabilitation period lasts 2 weeks.
During this time, the patient must wear special compression garments.
The advantage of mini-phlebectomy is its excellent cosmetic effect. However, the main advantage of removing varicose veins is that the result is preserved forever, without the risk of relapse.
Among all methods of treating varicose veins without surgery, ultrasound therapy VNUS closure, successfully practiced in Germany, should be highlighted.
The purpose of this procedure is to treat superficial veins. Special ultrasound equipment is used to seal the vein. Radiofrequency energy is directed to the affected area of the vessel through a thin catheter. Patients note that during treatment with the VNUS closure method they do not experience pain. After the procedure, patients can move freely. Experts, however, recommend refraining from putting stress on your legs for a period of time.
For the purpose of prevention, for self-treatment of varicose veins in the initial stages or as an element of a comprehensive program to combat the disease, the following methods are used:
In addition to diseases of the veins of the lower extremities, women may develop varicose veins of the small pelvis. The disease is associated with the expansion of veins in the corresponding area (in the pelvis) and is manifested by a nagging pain of unknown etiology in the lower abdomen. At an early stage, pelvic varicose veins can be treated conservatively with the help of blood-thinning and vascular wall-strengthening medications. However, drug treatment only stops the development of the disease and is not able to return the vessels to their original state. Microsurgical laparoscopic surgery will help cope with this problem. Special equipment equipped with a video camera is inserted into the pelvic cavity through punctures in the skin. Watching his actions inside the body on the screen, the doctor performs ligation of damaged vessels with maximum precision.
Modern medicine methods used in German clinics guarantee high efficiency in the treatment of varicose veins.

Varicose veins are not only not aesthetically pleasing (swollen veins on the arms and legs do not add beauty to anyone), but also very dangerous. The disease can progress and “result” in the formation of trophic ulcers, tromphoblephitis, thrombosis, and blockage of blood vessels in the legs.
From Latin, “varicose veins” is translated as “bloating.”
Under normal conditions, blood flows in the veins of the lower extremities against the force of gravity. The fact is that inside these vessels there are special valves, due to the operation of which the reverse outflow of blood is impossible. When the leg muscles contract, the venous blood flow is activated - like a pump, it begins to pump blood.
When the valves of the veins begin to work poorly, pathology develops - or varicose veins. The veins cannot cope with the powerful blood flow, which is why venous overdistension occurs. Because of this, valvular dysfunction is further aggravated. The natural movement of blood flow in the veins is disrupted.
Varicose veins are most often observed in women. Medical statistics claim that 89% of women and 66% of men have varicose veins.
There are several factors in the development of this disease. First of all, people who work while standing are at risk. For example, salespeople, bartenders, stewards and waiters. Also at increased risk are people who have to sit at a table or on hard seats for a long time, or lead a sedentary lifestyle (hypodynamia), since in this case, pinching of the veins in the legs is provoked. These are all office employees, cashiers, drivers.
Another factor contributing to the development of varicose veins is excess weight and obesity.
The initial symptoms of varicose veins are swelling in the legs, which increases in the evening and the formation of spider veins. Also, muscle cramps will indicate varicose veins. Another alarming sign is too noticeable veins that clearly show through the skin. Also, with varicose veins, the skin changes: the skin becomes drier, pigmented and darker.
As the disease worsens - especially as varicose veins progress - you may notice trophic ulcers on the legs that heal poorly.
Modern treatment of varicose veins in Germany is carried out at a high level. German doctors work using special techniques, the use of which makes it possible to achieve effective treatment: there are no traces of varicose veins left on the legs.
Conservative, non-drug treatment of veins in Germany is carried out using the stripping method. The technology allows you to eliminate blocked or dilated veins that have lost their basic functions.
When stripping, the saphena magna vein is removed, which runs along the inside of the leg from the ankles to the groin area.
This technique gives a positive treatment result. According to statistics, the probability of relapse after traction is only 2%.
Stripping is prescribed for swelling of the legs, trophic ulcers and venous insufficiency. This procedure is also carried out for cosmetic purposes.
Another option for conservative treatment for varicose veins is phlebectomy and miniphlebectomy. Micropunctures are made on the skin, through which doctors excise the affected vessels with a scalpel. At the end of the operation, not a suture is applied to the wound, but a special plaster.
Laser and radio wave therapy are among the surgical options for the treatment of varicose veins. These technologies allow you to adjust the venous surface. A small incision is made on the vascular wall using a radio wave or laser and the blocked vein is “melted”. After two to three weeks, the wound heals.
Laser treatment is good because it does not require prior hospitalization. The procedure goes quickly. The rehabilitation period is reduced to a minimum.
Removal of varicose veins in Germany is also carried out using the minimally invasive method of endoscopic excision of connecting veins. The operation is performed for trophic ulcers, venous insufficiency and skin injuries. First, doctors perform a duplex scan through a three-centimeter incision, dissect the “non-functioning” vein and remove the plexus of veins around the perforating veins.
German phlebologists also specialize in CHIVA therapy - non-invasive, non-drug. The veins are pulled - normal pressure is created in them, as a result of which the vessels expand and begin to function fully.
Also, doctors in Germany practice sclerotherapy - this is an aesthetic solution to the problem when spider veins and small parts of the venous surface are removed. A special solution is injected into the venous lumen, due to which the “non-functioning” vessel is glued together. It is “excluded” from the bloodstream.

Every year, we receive a large number of patients from Eastern Europe who want to undergo treatment for varicose veins (varicose veins) in Germany.
Today, Germany is considered one of the world leaders in the treatment of varicose veins. This is due to the high-tech modern hardware of vascular clinics and departments and the many years of experience of German doctors.
Varicose veins? this is one of the most common diseases of the vascular system. According to various sources, in developed countries, about 89% of women and 66% of men have varicose veins.
The disease consists of dilatation of the superficial veins of the lower extremities, which is accompanied by incompetence of the venous valves and impaired blood flow.
The trigger mechanism in the development of varicose veins is a disruption of the normal functioning of the venous valves with the occurrence of reverse flow (reflux) of blood. At the cellular level, this is due to an imbalance in the physiological balance between muscle cells, collagen and elastic fibers of the venous wall.
Phlebectomy is a method of surgical treatment of varicose veins. Currently, minimally invasive phlebectomy (mini-phlebectomy) occupies a central place in the treatment of varicose veins in Germany.
The main difference between a miniphlebectomy and a regular phlebectomy is that access to diseased veins is through skin punctures rather than through incisions.
Diseased veins are removed through small punctures in the skin (1-3 millimeters). Surgery can occur under either general or epidural anesthesia. After the operation, no stitches are applied, and the edges of the wound are glued together with a special tightening plaster.
The most modern gentle method of treating varicose veins is the laser method. Laser surgery is a minimally invasive method for treating varicose veins.
A special needle is inserted into the vein through a microscopic puncture of the skin. Then, a disposable laser wire (laser light guide) is passed through the hole of this needle. Next, under the control of a sonographer or ultrasound machine, a laser light guide is directed to the affected area. Then, an anesthetic is injected around the vein, and energy is supplied to the light guide, and with the help of a laser beam, the diseased vein is sealed. It turns into a flagellum, which dissolves over time. The function of the sealed vein is taken over by other healthy veins.
Laser therapy in the treatment of varicose veins has many advantages:
Before the procedure, all patients in Germany undergo a coagulogram, a general blood test, and blood tests for hepatitis, HIV and syphilis.
Surgery on one leg takes, depending on the extent of the damage, from 15 to 30 minutes. After surgery, a 1-2 hour walk is recommended.
After the procedure, the patient must wear compression stockings for some time.
Treatment of chronic venous insufficiency in Germany is carried out using endoscopic vein dissection. This is a minimally invasive therapy during which the connecting veins between the deep and superficial circulatory structures are excised. Endoscopic vein dissection is indicated for patients with chronic venous insufficiency.
Stripping is a surgical method of removing the affected area of the vein. The vein is removed using a thin probe. To insert the probe, two small incisions are made at the two ends of the affected vein.
The head of the probe is attached to the end of the affected area and using special surgical techniques, the entire affected area is removed. The advantage of stripping is that there is no need to make a large incision, but two small sections are enough, which preserves the cosmetic effect. In addition, the probability of relapse of the disease after treatment with the stripping method is only 1-2%.
In German clinics the so-called short stripping - only the affected areas of the diseased vein are removed. This improves the cosmetic effect and reduces recovery time after surgery. Using the stripping method helps in the future to avoid trophic ulcers associated with circulatory problems in the lower extremities.
As a rule, the method is used in later stages of varicose veins.
One of the most popular methods of treating varicose veins is ultrasound therapy using the Vnus Closure method.
Modern ultrasound therapy is a fairly painless, minimally invasive procedure. Ultrasound therapy occurs on an outpatient basis.
The essence of the Vnus Closure method is the ultrasound effect on the affected area of the vein.
The main advantages of ultrasound therapy:
Sclerotherapy? This is one of the innovative methods for treating varicose veins in Germany.
This type of therapy is used to treat superficial vein damage. This is a non-surgical method and is based on the use of special chemicals, when administered, the pathological section of the vein is glued together.
The advantages of the method lie in its simplicity and in achieving excellent results.
Hemodynamic therapy? This is a method of external constriction of blood vessels. As a result of tugging, it becomes possible to “control” blood flow. Access to the vessels is carried out through micropunctures of the skin, and the affected veins are not removed.

Varicose veins mean bloating (translated from Latin). Why does bloating of the veins occur, most often in the legs?
Normally, the blood in the veins of the legs moves against the force of gravity. This unique effect is achieved thanks to several natural mechanisms:
By stepping from heel to toe, a person “pumps” blood from bottom to top. This is why varicose veins are a common problem for women who constantly wear high heels. Their feet are rigidly fixed, the calf muscles do not contract enough;
Varicose veins are a pathological condition caused by a functional disorder of the venous valves. Their inability to cope with blood flow causes overstretching of the vein and disruption of venous outflow. This, in turn, further impairs the functioning of the valve, creating a vicious circle that leads to additional discharge of some blood downwards, against the natural movement of venous blood flow.
