Who takes the blame for bad varicose vein surgery? Huffington Post

Mind-Blowing Discovery about Varicose Veins - Huffington Post

Varicose veins are caused when the one-way valves inside the veins fail, allowing blood to flow the wrong way down the vein, stretching the vein wall. If left untreated, this abnormal flow can cause other problems in a proportion of people, resulting in inflammation, skin damage, eczema, ulcers or blood clots.



Read Prof Mark Whiteley in The Huffington Post 



Many doctors have tried to repair the failed valves - with very little success. Others try to strengthen the vein wall, to bring the valve leaflets closer together to try to help the valve to work again - once again with very poor results.

The failure of repairing the valves themselves or the vein holding the valves, suggested there is another reason that the valves fail.

This article explains a new discovery by Oliver Lyons and Professor Alberto Smith, showing a genetic link between the valves and maintenance of their function - a process never suggested previously.

This discovery explains many of the so far un-explained observations with regards varicose veins and venous disease.

Huffington Post - Who Should You Trust to Treat Your Varicose Veins?

Who should treat varicose veins?

In the past, General Surgeons used to operate on them. Now with local anaesthetic "pin-hole" techniques, lots of doctors for other specialities are treating veins. In some countries, non-medically qualified people and purely commercial companies are jumping on the band-wagon and offering vein treatments. 

Prof Mark Whiteley in The Huffington Post
Who Should You Trust to Treat Your Varicose Veins?

This wouldn't matter if everyone was doing the same thing and getting the same results. However, just like any practical skill, there are certain people who spend more time practising or researching a subject and who are likely to get better results than the "occasional dabbler".

Prof Mark Whiteley raises his head above the parapet with this controversial article in The Huffington Post.

Leg ulcer article in The Huffington Post

Mark Whiteley has written an article on the treatment of leg ulcers that appeared today in The Huffington Post.

Using The Whiteley Protocol(TM) Mark and his team have cured 85% of all leg ulcers that have come to The Whiteley Clinic over the last 12 years - and the majority of these had been told that they were incurable.

Mark shows that patients with leg ulcers in the UK and USA are treated by bandaging and dressing alone. At the Whiteley Clinic, specialised duplex ultrasound tests find out the underlying cause of the ulcer - usually the veins - which are then fixed using the latest pin-hole laser surgery under local anaesthetic.

Although it sounds expensive, it actually works out cheaper than continued dressings for years on end - never mind the improved quality of life for the patient and their relatives.
