Overview
Laser Surgery in India is performed at all the well-known hospitals. Laser technology has brought a new perspective to microsurgery since major surgeries can be executed with laser technology. Laser Surgery is an operation performed with a beam of light rather than a traditional scalpel. The radiation aids the surgeon to cut through tissues, cauterize a wound or repair damaged tissue. A laser beam can operate delicate tissues as it can be focused on a particular area. Surgery, generally is correcting a part of the disfunctioning human body. But with the advancement of years, surgery does not just save lives but creates or recreates the beauty of the human anatomy. Cosmetic Laser Surgery can bestow you with a set of beautiful skin free of acne and other deformities.
Medical issues to consider :
- The type of surgery required is determined from a number of tests, including a physical examination and an ultrasound scan. You need to discuss a range of issues with your doctor or surgeon including:
- Medical history, since some pre-existing conditions may influence decisions about surgery and anaesthetic.
- Any medications you take on a regular basis, including over-the-counter preparations.
- Any bad reactions or side effects from any drugs you have experienced.
- Whether or not you are pregnant. Varicose vein surgery is generally not advised for women during pregnancy.
Common side effects of surgery
Some of the common side effects of varicose vein surgery include:
- Swelling, which may take a few weeks to subside. The feet and ankles are particularly prone.
- Scarring, although scars tend to be less noticeable than varicose veins and fade with time.
- Brown staining of the skin may occur, but tends to fade with time.
- The skin and calf muscle may be painful, swollen and bruised.
- Unintentional injuries to nerves may cause patches of numbness or ‘pins and needles’.
- These patches may recover in time (up to two years in some cases) or they may be permanent.
Taking care of yourself at home
Be guided by your doctor, but general self-care suggestions include:
- Allow for one (or perhaps two) weeks off work following surgery. You will need to avoid any hard physical exertions during this time.
- Don’t remove your bandages yourself. Leave bandages for your doctor to remove.
- To keep the bandages dry while showering, wrap your bandaged leg in plastic.
- Take at least a half hour walk every day.
- Sunburn can make scars look worse. Avoid sun exposure if possible for six months.
- Wear a compression stocking for as long as your doctor advises.
- Avoid prolonged periods of standing, or sitting with your legs crossed.
- Support stockings may be needed if your legs continue to ache.
- Long term outlook
- You will need to have a check-up a few weeks after surgery and, again, several months later. About 20 per cent of people who undergo varicose vein surgery will develop new crops of varicose veins given time.
