Like any surgical procedure, there is also the possibility of complications. First, there could be complications due to anaesthesia. A well-trained and experienced anaesthetist will always be present during the treatment procedure.
Second, there could be possibilities of infection resulting from the procedure. While all care is taken to ensure that the operation room and all materials used are sterile, infection after surgical procedures can happen due to many reasons. It is the responsibility of everyone involved, including the patient, to avoid the possibility of infection.
Third, some persons may not respond well to the treatment, and may find a recanalization of the vein. In this case, it may be necessary to repeat the procedure, at least partially, after a colour Doppler examination. |
