How can I tell if a doctor is qualified to treat varicose veins?
In Germany, only operating vascular surgeons are trained in the treatment of catheter techniques during their specialist training. The vascular surgeons at Dermatologikum Hamburg are trained in the application of blood vessel catheters and have years’ experience in treating artery disorders and varicose veins using catheters.
Clinics that perform many operations per year tend to achieve the best results. We carry out a minimum of 250-300 operations per year.
As a patient, you should check that a stripping operation will not be performed in the case of technical problems. We have removed this passage from the patient education document as a matter of policy.
Ask the doctor who treats you for a copy of their statistics regarding frequency of complications. Success is defined as the complete elimination of the treated blood vessels one year after the operation with no trace of any veins that could cause a back-flow disorder. The Department for Vascular Surgery at Dermatologikum Hamburg boasts a success rate of 99%, which is noted in the patient education documentation.
