Vein Center

Many people underestimate varicose veins as a purely cosmetic problem – but they can increase the risk of thrombosis by a factor of five to six.

It is advisable to treat varicose veins at an early stage in order to avoid sequelae. Precise preoperative diagnostics are a prerequisite for optimal surgical treatment.

An individual vein examination including ultrasound provides a detailed picture.

Thanks to the latest techniques, such as the innovative hybrid saphenous vein method, for many procedures now extremely short hospital stays are sufficient.
