Interventions
Dr. Marius Fodor, senior vascular and general surgeon in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, performs interventions for varicose veins, hemorrhoids and obesity — with priority given to modern, minimally invasive methods. Below you can find all the interventions, organised by category.
Varicose vein treatment
Varicose veins can be treated without classic surgery, using minimally invasive methods that close or remove the affected veins, with both an aesthetic and a medical goal. The right method is chosen after a vascular evaluation with Doppler ultrasound.
- The steam method (STEAM ablation) — closing the vein with water vapour; awarded in 2010, recommended in most cases
- Foam sclerotherapy — injection of sclerosing foam, no incisions
- Laser therapy — closing the vein with light energy
- Venous cryotherapy — removing the veins through controlled freezing
- Endoscopic treatment — removing large veins under video control
- The Alpha method — ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy
Arterial conditions
Arterial conditions — from carotid disease to limb arteriopathy and aortic aneurysm — are treated surgically or endovascularly, depending on the diagnosis. Early detection prevents major complications such as stroke or amputation.
- Carotid artery surgery
- Upper limb artery surgery
- Lower limb artery surgery
- Aortic artery surgery
- Abdominal aortic stent-grafting (EVAR)
- Endovascular surgery (angioplasty and stenting)
Hemorrhoid treatment
Hemorrhoidal disease is treated according to its stage and symptoms, from minimally invasive procedures to surgery when needed.
- Treating hemorrhoids with the steam method
- Treating hemorrhoids with foam sclerotherapy
- Treating hemorrhoids with cryotherapy
Bariatric surgery
Bariatric surgery supports weight loss in patients with obesity, when conservative methods have not delivered results. The right procedure is established after a medical evaluation.
