Varicose vein surgery
Varicose vein removal surgery
Court House Clinics is pleased to be able to offer treatment for varicose veins and all consultations are carried out by our experienced vascular surgeon Mr. Keith Rose
Mr. Keith Rose originally trained in London and gained the fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1984. He has specialised in the treatment of venous disease for over 15 years developing a particular interest in recurrent disease. His experience with conventional surgery, endovenous laser ablation and foam injection sclerotherapy enables treatment tailored to each patient at any stage of their condition.
Varicose veins occur when the one way valves in the veins in the leg fail allowing blood under pressure to flow the wrong way. The veins are not designed to cope with this increased pressure so they enlarge and become prominent and more visible. Venous disease is largely inherited.
Varicose veins can affect men and women equally; all veins can vary in type, size and colour and can be caused by a variety of factors including genetics, pregnancy, hormones and sun. They are not caused by standing for long periods, but the symptoms may be increased. In addition, they are not related to weight, blood pressure or smoking, nor are they caused by crossing the legs.
To ensure correct treatment, we would recommend that you have a Doppler Ultra Sound assessment to diagnose your condition, after which Mr Rose will then be able to recommend either surgery or non-surgical treatment to treatment your problem. Consultations are available nationwide.
Please telephone our Customer Care Advisors on 0845 555 50 50 today to schedule a consultation with either of our experienced Vascular Specialists.

Frequently asked questions
What causes varicose veins?
Varicose veins occur when the one way valves in the veins in the leg fail allowing blood under pressure to flow the wrong way. The veins are not designed to cope with this increased pressure so they enlarge and become prominent and more visible.
Who gets varicose veins?
Venous disease is largely inherited. It affects men and women equally but starts earlier in women often beginning in pregnancy. It is not caused by standing for long periods but the symptoms may be increased. They are not related to weight, blood pressure or smoking, nor are they caused by crossing the legs.
How does the Doppler Scanner work?
The Doppler machine emits high frequency ultrasound waves which bounce off the blood corpuscles and the reflected sound frequency depends on the direction of blood flow enabling incompetent veins to be identified with ease. This prevents misdiagnosis and ensures veins are treated in the correct way.
