For Inquiries

Varicose veins are a common condition that can cause pain, swelling, heaviness, and cosmetic concerns in the legs. At Inova Hospital, Kathmandu, we offer EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation) — a modern, minimally invasive laser treatment that effectively treats varicose veins without the need for major surgery.

Under the expert care of Prof. Dr. Dinesh Chapagain, patients receive safe, advanced, and result-oriented vascular care with faster recovery and minimal discomfort.


🧠 WHAT IS EVLA

EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation), also known as EVLT, is a laser-based procedure used to close and treat damaged veins.

A thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein using ultrasound guidance. The laser energy heats and seals the vein, allowing blood to reroute through healthy veins.

Over time, the treated vein is absorbed naturally by the body.


🦵 SYMPTOMS OF VARICOSE VEINS

You may need EVLA if you experience:

  • Bulging or twisted veins in the legs
  • Persistent leg pain or heaviness
  • Swelling in legs or ankles
  • Burning, itching, or throbbing sensation
  • Skin discoloration near the ankle
  • Non-healing ulcers or wounds

⚠️ WHEN TO CONSIDER EVLA

EVLA is recommended when:

  • Conservative treatment has failed
  • Symptoms are worsening
  • Cosmetic concerns are significant
  • There is risk of complications like ulcers or thrombosis

Early treatment helps prevent long-term complications.


⚙️ HOW EVLA PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED

The EVLA procedure is simple and safe:

  1. Local anesthesia is applied
  2. A small puncture is made in the vein
  3. Laser fiber is inserted under ultrasound guidance
  4. Laser energy seals the vein
  5. The procedure takes about 30–60 minutes
  6. Patient can walk immediately after

⚡ BENEFITS OF EVLA

  • Minimally invasive (no cuts or stitches)
  • Performed under local anesthesia
  • Same-day discharge
  • Minimal pain and discomfort

⚖️ EVLA VS TRADITIONAL SURGERY

  • Lower complication rates
