All surgery is risky. In the right hands radio frequency ablation can be considered a low risk ambulatory procedure, but if done under the wrong conditions or inappropriately can lead to complications such as DVT, PE and skin necrosis. Choose your surgeon carefully and review the risks and benefits closely.
Radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins is generally safe, but there are potential risks including pain, bruising, skin burns, nerve injury, blood clot formation, and infection. Discuss these risks with your healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
