Essence of the intervention

Laser coagulation surgery is performed in a few phases.

The doctor uses a tranquilizer to help protect the tissues from burns.

Third phase

The laser fiber is inserted along the whole length of the enlarged blood vessel after a small puncture is made beneath the skin. The laser emits thermal energy, and the closure of the blood vessel is impacted by that thermal energy.
