Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) for Varicose Veins abroad – Private Hospital in Poland
If you are looking for a low-invasive laser method of removing your varicose veins – you are in the right place. Our experienced surgeons perform varicose vein surgery in Poland, in a state of art, modern clinic in Katowice. Patients with saphenous vein incompetence usually have two options: conservative management or elimination of these incompetent pathways using endovenous techniques or, in some cases, surgery. Conservative management focuses on improving the symptoms but does not cure the reason. EVLT laser treatment for varicose veins is an advanced method of treating venous insufficiency. This approach involves using the laser beam inside the vessel, to shrink and close varicose veins, with no need for open surgery. Laser medical treatment has proven its safety through many years; it is an effective and non-invasive method with a low complication rate.

What do our Patients say?
I was originally quite apprehensive about travelling to Katowice, Poland for varicose vein surgery but having Maja from EuroTreatMed help me along the way made my experience run smoothly.
When I originally contacted Euro Treat Med 2 months prior to my surgery I received plenty of information regarding my procedure and was happy to book with the surgeon. I booked to stay in a hotel called Park Diament only across the road from the hospital where my procedure would take place (patients were given a discount on their stay as well).
I flew out two days prior to my procedure and was picked up from the airport by Maja, even though I was 5 hours late due to missing my connecting flight. The following day I had an examination with the surgeon where we discussed appropriate methods for the procedure and was then scheduled in to have treatment in the morning. The day of the procedure went smoothly as Maja was there to check me in and stayed until all of my pre op checks had been completed. After the procedure I was then allowed to leave the hospital at around 3pm the same day and was told to rest in my hotel.
I would definitely not hesitate to go abroad for surgery again as the facilities were just as good if not better than the UK and I could not recommend Euro Treat Med and Maja enough.

General Information About the EVLT Treatment
To perform EVLT veins treatment, your doctor makes a small incision in the skin and inserts a thin tube (fibre) into the damaged vein. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and is completely painless. The laser beam is emitted through this fibre precisely to the targeted issues. The thermal ablation causes the vein to close, and the blood flow is automatically routed to other veins.
In endovenous laser treatment, a thin fibre is inserted into the damaged vein through a tiny entry point in the skin. A laser light is emitted through the fibre, as it is pulled back through the vein, it delivers just the right amount of energy. The targeted tissue reacts with the light energy, causing the vein to close and seal shut. The veins that are closed are superficial veins that handle less than five percent of the body’s blood flow. The blood is automatically routed to other, healthy veins. Patients usually are encouraged to start walking on the same day. After the procedure, the compression sock is administered. Returning to work is possible usually after 7 days.
