• Benefits of vascular surgery

  Vascular surgery is used to treat problems affecting your veins and arteries. There are many reasons to seek the help of a vascular surgeon. It could be as straightforward as treating varicose veins, or as complex as removing plaque from your carotid artery.

  If you are diagnosed with a vascular condition, it can reduce your risk of developing serious health problems such as a heart attack, stroke, aneurysm rupture or amputation.

   Generally speaking, patients can also expect to experience:

  • A better quality of life.
  • Improved blood flow and wound healing.
  • Improved levels of mobility.
  • Reduced levels of pain and swelling.

  
  

• Types of vascular surgery

  Buderim Private Hospital’s facilities are equipped with the technology to assist with a range of vascular procedures. This includes a state-of-the-art Cardiovascular Lab, recently completed to incorporate the latest in treatment technology. 

  Our team of knowledgeable surgeons are able to assist with arterial and venous disease. They can also treat endovascular conditions for the legs, carotid arteries and aortic diseases, using:

  • Balloons.
  • Laser and brachytherapy.
  • Stents and stent-grafts.

  
  

• Varicose veins

  Varicose veins are twisted and enlarged veins close to the surface of the skin. For some, these veins are mostly a cosmetic concern. For others, they can cause pain and discomfort. In some cases, they can lead to more serious health problems.

  Our varicose vein surgeons specialise in removing varicose veins. This is done via endovenous thermal ablation using lasers or radiofrequency to seal off the vein. It is a minimally invasive procedure with a shorter recovery time, so you can quickly get back to your normal routine.

• Other conditions treated

  Our team of vascular surgery experts are also able to treat: 

  • Carotid artery disease.
  • Aortic aneurysm.
  • Peripheral vascular disease.
  • Venous ulcers.
  • Venous thrombosis.
