01. Local Anesthesia & Access

Tumescent local anesthesia is given around the vein. A small puncture is made and a thin catheter is inserted into the vein under ultrasound guidance.

Tumescent local anesthesia is given around the vein. A small puncture is made and a thin catheter is inserted into the vein under ultrasound guidance.

The laser fiber is advanced through the catheter to the required position below the saphenofemoral/saphenopopliteal junction.

Tumescent solution is injected around the vein. This compresses the vein, provides anesthesia and protects surrounding tissues.

Laser energy is delivered while the fiber is gradually withdrawn. The vein wall collapses and the vein is sealed shut.

The fiber and catheter are removed and pressure is applied to the puncture site.
Common bile duct stenting was performed for malignant biliary obstruction secondary to periampullary tumor. The procedure relieved obstructive jaundice, improved biliary drainage, reduced bilirubin levels, and alleviated symptoms such as pruritus and cholangitis. Metallic stenting provided durable palliation, improved nutritional status, and enabled further surgical or oncological treatment planning
