Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for varicose veins at Samford Hospital, Kokar Chowk, Ranchi. Walk-in, walk-out procedure under local anaesthesia. No stitches, no hospital admission, back to normal within 24 hours. Dr. Vikeerna Bharti, MS Surgery, PGIMER.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, dark-blue veins visible just under the skin of the legs. They occur when the valves inside leg veins fail, causing blood to pool and veins to swell. They affect approximately 20–30% of adults and are more common in people who stand for long periods, are overweight, or have a family history.
Dr. Vikeerna Bharti performs Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) — the most advanced, minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins — at Samford Hospital, Kokar Chowk, Ranchi.
A thin catheter is inserted into the diseased vein under ultrasound guidance. Radiofrequency energy heats and seals the vein from inside. Blood automatically reroutes through healthy veins. The entire procedure takes 45–60 minutes.
