In a significant advancement in vascular care, the Department of Interventional Radiology at Indira Gandhi Co-operative Hospital, Kadavanthra, has introduced minimally invasive, scar-free treatments for varicose veins, offering patients fast relief without the need for surgery, hospital admission, or long recovery times. The newly launched service features Day Care Procedures using no scalpel or knife techniques, allowing patients to walk in and walk out the same day—with no bed rest required. These treatments are ideal for those suffering from painful, swollen, or visible varicose veins, which commonly affect the legs and can severely impact quality of life if left untreated. The hospital offers two major state-of-the-art procedures: • Thermal Ablation: Using Laser, Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), or Microwave Ablation (MWA), this method involves a single puncture in the leg and precise burning of the affected vein using heat. • Glue Ablation: A newer, completely pain-free technique that seals off the diseased vein with medical adhesive—performed through a single needle stick, without the need for anesthesia or sutures. This initiative by Indira Gandhi Co-operative Hospital and WeRad – The Complete Radiology Solution marks a major step in accessible, non-surgical vascular care in Kerala, staying true to the hospital’s mission of delivering advanced and affordable healthcare to all.
