Our clinic has extensive experience in treating recurrent and highly complex varicose vein cases, including patients who were considered unsuitable for treatment elsewhere. We believe there are no cases of lower extremity varicose veins beyond our capability to treat.

Our procedures are based on the Stab Avulsion technique, with refinements to optimize each surgical approach. The average procedure time is only 15–25 minutes, which is less than half the national average of approximately 60 minutes.

The complication rate is approximately 0.1%, and all reported complications have been mild. The recurrence rate is 0.08%.

All procedures are performed through tiny needle punctures, eliminating the need for skin incisions or sutures. Because of this minimally invasive approach, we have not encountered cases in which surgery could not be performed.

Even patients taking blood-thinning medications for heart disease or those in their 90s can safely undergo treatment after appropriate medical evaluation.

・After an ultrasound examination of the lower limbs, the doctor will explain the operation (about 15-30 minutes).

・After changing clothes, you will be taken to the operating room. You will be given a drug that makes you sleepy via IV, and the operation will take about 15-45 minutes while you are drowsy or asleep. After resting for about 30 minutes after the operation, you will be examined by the doctor and can go home in as little as about 2 hours.

・The day after the operation, blood samples will be taken, the wound will be checked, and the doctor will explain the operation to you.

・Since we have experience with many cases of recurrence and high difficulty that have been rejected at other hospitals, there are no varicose veins of the lower limbs that we cannot handle. Furthermore, the complications rate is about 0.1%, and all of them are mild, and the recurrence rate is 0.08%, so the quality is high.

・Through experience with more than 3,000 procedures, we have continuously refined our surgical techniques, reducing the average procedure time to just 15–25 minutes—less than half the national average of approximately 60 minutes.
