Vein ligation

Vein ligation is a surgical procedure where a doctor ties off a problematic vein, often to prevent abnormal blood flow or treat conditions like varicose veins or bleeding. The surgeon places stitches or ties around the targeted vein to close it off, redirecting blood flow through healthier pathways. This helps reduce symptoms like pain, swelling, or the risk of complications such as ulcers or bleeding. The procedure is minimally invasive in many cases and can provide lasting relief by removing or sealing the problematic vein, improving overall leg health and function.
