Vascular Surgery

Vascular Surgery focuses on the evaluation and management of diseases affecting blood vessels, including arteries and veins. These conditions can interfere with normal blood circulation and may affect the legs, arms, abdomen and other parts of the body. Common vascular problems include peripheral arterial disease, aneurysms, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins and complications associated with reduced blood flow. Clinical assessment helps determine the underlying condition and whether medical treatment, monitoring or surgical intervention is appropriate. Diagnostic evaluation may include physical examination, assessment of pulses and circulation, Doppler ultrasound and other vascular imaging investigations. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve medication, management of cardiovascular risk factors, wound care, endovascular procedures or open vascular surgery. The treatment approach is determined by the affected blood vessel, the severity of the disease and the patient's overall health. Timely evaluation is particularly important when patients experience sudden limb pain, coldness, colour changes, non-healing wounds or other symptoms suggesting impaired circulation. Vascular care may include ongoing monitoring, post-procedure follow-up and coordination with other medical specialties to support recovery and reduce the risk of further vascular complications.
