Struggling with severe varicose veins that cause pain or interfere with your daily life? Endoscopic Vein Surgery, available at Renew Vein & Vascular in Korea Town, Bell Gardens, and Buena Park, CA, is a minimally invasive option for advanced vein conditions. This procedure provides long-lasting relief by removing or closing problematic veins with precision and minimal downtime. Read on to learn how Endoscopic Vein Surgery works, who it’s for, and how it can help you regain your comfort and confidence.
When Varicose Veins Need Advanced Care
Varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic issue. For many, they cause symptoms like throbbing pain, swelling, and a heavy feeling in the legs. In severe cases, varicose veins can lead to skin ulcers or increase the risk of blood clots, making timely treatment essential.
While minimally invasive treatments like sclerotherapy or thermal ablation work for many patients, some require more advanced options. Endoscopic Vein Surgery is a highly effective procedure for treating large or stubborn varicose veins that don’t respond to other treatments. At Renew Vein & Vascular, we specialize in this precise, minimally invasive solution to help patients regain their mobility and quality of life.
What Is Endoscopic Vein Surgery?
Endoscopic Vein Surgery involves the use of a small camera and specialized surgical instruments to treat problematic veins. The camera, attached to a thin tube (endoscope), is inserted through a tiny incision near the affected vein. This allows the surgeon to view the vein on a monitor and precisely remove or close it.
How It Works:
- Preparation: Local or regional anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Insertion of the Endoscope: A small incision is made near the vein, and the endoscope is carefully inserted.
- Treatment: Using the live video feed, the surgeon identifies the problematic sections of the vein and removes or seals them.
- Closure: The incision is closed with sutures or adhesive, and a compression bandage is applied.
The procedure is minimally invasive, and most patients return home the same day.
Benefits of Endoscopic Vein Surgery
Endoscopic Vein Surgery offers a range of benefits for patients with severe varicose veins:
- Precision and Effectiveness: The endoscopic camera provides a clear view of the vein, ensuring accurate treatment.
- Minimally Invasive: With small incisions and specialized tools, this procedure avoids the extensive recovery associated with traditional surgery.
- Relief from Symptoms: Many patients experience immediate relief from pain, swelling, and discomfort.
- Improved Aesthetics: Removing large, visible veins restores the natural appearance of the legs.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients return to light activities within a few days.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Endoscopic Vein Surgery?
This procedure is ideal for individuals with advanced varicose veins that:
- Cause significant pain, swelling, or discomfort.
- Contribute to skin ulcers or other complications.
- Have not responded to other treatments like sclerotherapy or ablation.
- Are large, twisted, or located in challenging areas.

Aftercare and Recovery Tips
Proper aftercare is essential to ensure a smooth recovery and lasting results. Here’s what patients should keep in mind:
- Wear Compression Stockings: These garments support healing and improve circulation after the procedure.
- Stay Active: Light walking helps promote blood flow and prevent complications like blood clots.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from heavy lifting or intense exercise for at least two weeks.
- Keep the Incision Area Clean: Follow your provider’s instructions for cleaning and caring for the incision site.
