5,000 th Local Anaesthetic Procedure at The Whiteley Clinic

This morning saw the 5,000 th Local Anaesthetic Procedure at The Whiteley Clinic in Guildford.

Mr Tim Watkins pictured above with the team (Vascular Technologist Charlie Harrison, Sister Carrie Wheeler, Staff Nurse Rosemary Hudson and Surgeon Mark Whiteley) is pictured having just had Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) to both legs.

As with all local anaesthetic walk-in walk-out surgery performed at The Whiteley Clinic, Mr Watkins was walking home 30 minutes later.

Having performed over 5,000 general anaesthetic endovenous procedures from 1999 - 2005, and now 5000 procedure under local anaesthetic procedures since 2005, this total of cases keeps The Whiteley Clinic as one of the most experienced clinics in endovenous or "keyhole" vein surgery in the world.
