Vascular surgeries range from minimally invasive to more traditional open surgeries. Minimally invasive procedures, such as Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) and VenaSeal, involve small incisions or no incisions at all, typically resulting in quicker recovery times and less post-operative discomfort.

VenaSeal, for example, uses a medical adhesive to seal varicose veins with a very minimal incision. More invasive procedures, such as open bypass surgery or aneurysm repair, involve larger incisions and may require longer recovery periods. These surgeries are often performed in a hospital setting and may involve a stay for monitoring.

The choice of procedure depends on the specific condition, patient health, and the surgeon’s recommendations, aiming to balance effectiveness with minimal invasiveness.
