Fortis Hospital, Mall Road, Ludhiana, Celebrates Success Stories of Varicose Vein Treatments

Ludhiana, 9/nov/2024 (Pooja)

Fortis Hospital, Mall Road, Ludhiana, recently hosted a special event celebrating the success stories of 35 patients who have undergone advanced treatments for varicose veins. Led by Dr. Rajdeep Singh Chhina, a highly regarded Interventional Radiologist, the event showcased the transformative impact of modern, minimally invasive procedures that have enabled patients to reclaim their quality of life.
The event was attended by prominent figures, including Dr. Vishavdeep Goyal, Zonal Director & SBU Head for Amritsar & Ludhiana, and Mr. Gurdarshan Singh Mangat, Unit Head at Fortis Mall Road, Ludhiana, along with other esteemed doctors and the hospital’s medical team. To commemorate the occasion, a cake-cutting ceremony was held, celebrating the patients’ recovery journeys and recognizing the hospital’s dedication to providing innovative and compassionate care.
During the event, Dr. Chhina highlighted that varicose veins affect nearly 20% of adults, especially women, causing symptoms ranging from leg aches and pigmentation to severe complications such as ulcers, bleeding, and skin cancers. He explained that varicose veins result from damaged valves, which cause blood pooling and lead to the characteristic twisted and enlarged appearance of these veins. Risk factors include genetics, obesity, prolonged standing, pregnancy, and deep vein thrombosis.
Dr. Chhina presented the cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatments available at Fortis Hospital that eliminate the need for traditional, invasive surgeries and long recovery times. One of the standout techniques is the USFDA-approved adhesive-based therapy—a non-surgical procedure that avoids cuts, thermal energy, and stitches. This treatment involves applying a medical adhesive to seal the affected vein through a small catheter, offering patients a painless experience and immediate recovery without anesthesia or the need for compression stockings. The procedure, which typically takes just 20–30 minutes, allows patients to return to their daily routines swiftly and safely. Fortis Hospital has performed the maximum number of VenaSeal procedures in Punjab, establishing its leadership in advanced varicose vein treatments.
“These advanced therapies are revolutionizing how we manage varicose veins,” Dr. Chhina shared. “With fewer risks, less pain, and faster recovery, patients can regain control of their vascular health and lead healthier, more active lives.”
Throughout the event, patients shared heartfelt stories of their recovery, emphasizing how these modern treatments have allowed them to overcome discomfort, regain mobility, and improve their overall well-being. Dr. Chhina emphasized the importance of early intervention, noting that untreated varicose veins can lead to complications such as spontaneous bleeding, lipodermatosclerosis, and callous ulcers, which can be distressing and life-limiting.
In his closing speech, Dr. Vishavdeep Goyal reaffirmed Fortis Hospitals’ commitment to delivering world-class treatment and harnessing cutting-edge technology for the benefit of patients across the region. “Fortis Hospitals is dedicated to raising the standard of healthcare in the region by bringing advanced medical technology and top-quality care to ensure our patients receive the best treatment options available,” Dr. Goyal said.
This event not only celebrated the positive outcomes of varicose vein treatments but also
reinforced Fortis Hospital’s role as a leader in providing innovative, minimally invasive
therapies in vascular health, benefiting patients in Ludhiana and beyond,” said Gurdarshan
Singh Mangat, Unit Head at Fortis Mall Road, Ludhiana.
