About Testimonials
Each testimonial on this Web site is expressed in the words of real Closure patients and doctors who perform the VNUS Closure procedure, not of VNUS. These testimonials are based on each person’s individual experience. Outcomes may vary depending on a person’s particular condition and circumstances.
The Closure procedure will not be suitable for all patients and only a doctor can tell you whether the Closure procedure is right for you. As with any medical procedure, there are risks and considerations with the Closure procedure. For more information about the key risks and considerations read safety summary.
In my view the VNUS Closure procedure is the preferred technique to treat venous reflux because it requires no specific modifications to operating areas, is well tolerated by patients, requires minimal post-procedure analgesia and is highly effective at closing the vein.

The main advantage is it avoids a general anaesthetic and as a result has a lower complication rate than conventional surgery.

I think the main advantage is that it avoids the general anaesthetic that was previously associated with conventional surgery and as a result of that has a lower complication rate than conventional surgery.

You don't need general anathesia, actually it is a cost effective way in treating vein for the patient as well and good for the NHS.

The biggest advantage is patients are avoiding a general anaesthetic and recovery time seems to be a lot quicker.
