Expert Workshop: Phlebosurgery of Varicose Vein and Ulcer Patients

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to be able to offer this course again with the help of the professional team at the LK Melk.

Minimally invasive methods are also booming in phlebology. In the midst of endoluminal procedures such as foam sclerotherapy, superglue, LASER, radio wave and even extracorporeal closure of a truncal vein using focussed sound waves (HIFU), phlebosurgery is still very important. Preoperative mapping, stage-appropriate invaginating stripping and mini-surgical side-astexhairesis can be performed well under sound-guided tumescent anaesthesia. This further development of Babcock stripping without the use of a folding knife makes the operation minimally invasive and virtually complication-free. The procedure is painless and ideal for day-case treatment. In addition to the low complication rate, the data also confirm a low recurrence rate.

The PHLEBOCHIRURGY WORKSHOP offers assistance with surgical planning as well as tips and tricks for operating on varicose vein and ulcer patients.

We look forward to your participation and a personal exchange with you!

Yours sincerely,

Dr Ferdinand Steinbacher
Dr Alfred Obermayer
