Vulval and leg varicose veins - Pelvic vein embolisation and radiofrequency closure

Treatment of varicose veins and pelvic veins with The Whiteley Protocol

This lady had varicose veins that Duplex Ultrasound showed originated in her pelvis (http://www.vulval-varicose-veins.co.uk/).

She came to The Whiteley Clinic and underwent The Whiteley Protocol.

This entails a very precise duplex ultrasound examination that identified all of the areas that were contributing to her varicose veins problem. By using a sequence of local anaesthetic walk-in walk-out keyhole surgery procedures as outlined in The Whiteley Protocol, we were able to get rid of her varicose veins and give her a very low chance of ever getting veins back again.

RFiTT - Radiofrequency Ablation of Varicose Veins

On Saturday 9th October 2010, George Badham (Venous research fellow summer 2010 at The Whiteley Clinic) will be presenting his research on the RFiTT Radiofrequency Treatment of varicose veins at a National Students research meeting.

Using a bench top model and video capture techniques, George has shown that the previously published method of performing RFiTT treatments was sub-optimal.

However, using The Whiteley Clinic method of performing RFiTT, optimal treatments of varicose veins can be obtained and reproduced.

This has shown why The Whiteley Clinic method has produced such good results in patients when using RFiTT.

Curing leg ulcers

Approximately 60% of leg ulcers in the UK are curable by simple local anaesthetic surgery techniques. The "Whiteley Protocol" is a system of assessing and treating the venous system of the leg developed by myself - Mark Whiteley.

Using the Whiteley Clinic protocol, we would expect to cure at least half of the leg ulcers. Unfortunately people with leg ulcers usually end up in "ulcer clinics" or "leg clubs" where the are only ever offered dressing and compression ...... and are never given a chance of a cure.

This is a lady who has just undergone treatment by The Whiteley Protocol in August 2010:
