| In the past, treatment of many vein disorders required a surgical procedure called vein stripping. This procedure, usually given under a general anesthetic, was quite painful and often required the patient to stay off their feet for several weeks. At Wisconsin Vein Institute, we take a different approach. By using ultrasound to "see" the veins under the skin, the veins can be treated without surgically removing (stripping) the vein out of the leg. This leads to faster recovery and better cosmetic results. For more detail on our procedures, click on one of the links below. |
