Day Surgery for Varicose Veins   【 The Varicose Vein Clinic TOKYO (Meguro Surgical Clinic)】

Japan's Leading Clinic for Day Surgery of Varicose Veins.
The Clinic Director personally manages every stage of care, from consultation and diagnosis to treatment and postoperative follow-up, providing minimally invasive treatment without incisions or sutures.

Meguro Surgical Clinic is a specialized clinic that performs one of the highest numbers of treatments for lower-extremity varicose veins in Japan. The director personally and consistently oversees the entire treatment process, from the initial consultation, ultrasound examination, and explanation of treatment options through surgery and postoperative follow-up. At the initial consultation, approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour is spent carefully assessing venous reflux and the condition of the varicose veins. Surgery is generally scheduled for a later date and takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the treatment site. A postoperative examination is performed the day after surgery. Patients can resume normal daily activities, including bathing and exercise, from the day after surgery. This minimally burdensome outpatient treatment is also suitable for patients who are visiting Japan for travel.

【Target Conditions】
Lower-extremity varicose veins (great saphenous varicose veins, small saphenous varicose veins, tributary varicose veins, recurrent varicose veins, etc.). Cases involving visibly bulging or tortuous veins, leg cramps, heaviness or fatigue in the legs, stasis dermatitis, or skin pigmentation are also eligible for treatment.

【Treatment Methods / Procedures】
Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), endovenous adhesive embolization (glue treatment), sclerotherapy, and treatment of tributary varicose veins as necessary. The most appropriate treatment method is selected after confirming venous reflux by ultrasound examination.

【Treatment Site / Organ】
Lower extremities (superficial veins around the thighs, lower legs, and ankles)
