“The brief surgery time and quick recovery of Endolaser appeals to men, Navarro says. In the past, the majority of his patients were women, who are more likely to get the surgery for cosmetic reasons. But his clientele is changing. ‘Men don’t want to lose time from work,’ Navarro says. ‘Now they can see it can be done in the office and they can go right back to work.’”

“Endovascular laser closure (Endolaser) is the most recent cutting-edge breakthrough in treatments for large varicose veins. Navarro reports a 95 percent success rate with this minimally invasive surgery.”

“’Ahora, cuando las venas son grandes debido a un fallo de la vena principal llamada safena, en vez de este procedimiento, existe el endoláser donde, con anestesia local, entramos a la vena principal pasando una fibra de láser que, con su energía, cierra y suelda la vena,’ describe el doctor Navarro. ‘La gran ventaja es que dura 45 minutos y puedes ir directamente al trabajo después porque no necesita tanta recuperación como en las cirugía,’ explica.”
