Treatment Protocol
The Vein Center, Parel East
Condition: Minor reflux, cosmetic concerns, or patients ideal for conservative management.
Protocol: Stockings and Anticoagulants
- Medical Grade Compression Stockings: Custom fitting guidance provided.
- Pharmacotherapy: Use of blood thinners (Anticoagulants) to improve flow and prevent clot formation (DVT), strictly for suitable candidates.
Condition: Significant valve failure, bulging veins, pain, or swelling.
Protocol: VenaSeal™ Glue Therapy.
- Why VenaSeal? It is a non-thermal, non-tumescent solution. We seal the diseased vein using a specialized medical adhesive.
- Benefits: No risk of nerve injury (unlike thermal ablation), minimal discomfort, and rapid recovery.
Condition: Open wounds or non-healing sores near the ankle.
Protocol: Immediate Intervention.
- Action: Urgent VenaSeal procedure to stop the reflux causing the ulcer is recommended.
- Wound Care: Specialized dressing and management post-procedure by specialties to ensure rapid tissue healing.
VenaSeal™ Treatment
(Glue Therapy for Varicose Veins)
VenaSeal is a minimally invasive, non-thermal treatment for varicose veins that uses a proprietary medical adhesive to close diseased veins. Unlike laser or radiofrequency ablation, it does not require tumescent anesthesia (multiple needle sticks) or heat, resulting in a procedure that typically allows patients to return to normal activities immediately.
What are the benefits of VenaSeal?
- No Heat: No risk of nerve injury from thermal energy.
- Less Anesthesia: Requires only one local anesthetic injection at the access site, not multiple along the leg.
- No Compression Stockings: Unlike other treatments, post-procedure compression stockings are generally not required.
- Immediate Recovery: Most patients return to work or exercise the same day.
- Ideal for: Elderly, High-Risk Patients, and those fearing needles/surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Color Doppler Scan included in the consultation fee?
Yes. Unlike many centers where you must visit the radiology department separately, Dr. Saurabh Joshi performs a specialized Venous Color Doppler Scan personally during your consultation. This allows for an immediate, accurate diagnosis of valve competence and blood flow in a single 30-minute visit.
How long does the initial consultation take at Gleneagles Hospital?
We allocate approximately 30 minutes for every new patient. This ensures enough time for a clinical examination, the ultrasound scan, and a detailed discussion about your treatment options (Medicine, Glue, or Stockings).
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Saurabh Joshi at Parel?
No, a referral is not mandatory. You can book an appointment directly with The Vein Center department at Gleneagles Hospital. However, if you have reports from another doctor, please bring them along.
Do you treat non-healing leg ulcers (Venous Ulcers)?
Yes. A non-healing wound near the ankle is often caused by untreated venous reflux. We offer a dual approach: correcting the vein reflux using VenaSeal and providing specialized wound care dressings to accelerate healing.
Is VenaSeal™ Glue Therapy available at the Parel center?
Yes. We are fully equipped to perform VenaSeal™ Glue Therapy at Gleneagles Hospital. This is a non-thermal, non-tumescent procedure that seals the diseased vein using a medical adhesive, offering rapid recovery without the need for multiple needle pricks for anesthesia.
Is the treatment painful?
Procedures like VenaSeal are designed to be comfortable and often require only a single prick of local anesthesia. Laser treatment (EVLT) is performed under local anesthesia (tumescent), ensuring the area is numb during the procedure. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and manageable.
How soon can I walk after the procedure?
Patients are encouraged to walk immediately after the procedure to promote blood flow. Most patients resume their normal office or home routine within 1 to 2 days. Heavy lifting and strenuous gym activities should usually be avoided for a week.
Do I need 'Open Surgery' for Varicose Veins?
In the vast majority of cases, no. Modern treatments like Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLT) and VenaSeal are minimally invasive. They are performed through a pinhole entry, require no stitches, and typically allow patients to walk immediately after the procedure.
Is cashless medical insurance accepted at Gleneagles Hospital for vein treatment?
Yes. As a JCI-accredited tertiary care hospital, Gleneagles accepts most major medical insurance policies and TPAs. Varicose Vein treatment (EVLT/VenaSeal) is generally covered under 'Vascular Surgery' if medically indicated. We recommend visiting the hospital TPA desk with your policy details for pre-authorization.
Will I need to be admitted to the hospital overnight?
Most varicose vein procedures (EVLT and VenaSeal) are performed as 'Day Care Procedures,' meaning you can usually go home the same day. However, depending on your age, medical history, or insurance requirements, a 24-hour admission might be recommended for observation.
