Southern Vascular is a specialist vascular surgical clinic.

We aim to provide individualised specialist based treatment of vascular surgical conditions. These conditions include:

Vascular surgery has evolved in the last 20 years to become a speciality separate from general surgery. The specific technical demands of complicated and long operations on arteries and veins led to the break. This became reflected in the vascular surgical training which encompassed general surgery training with vascular surgical specialization. Most vascular surgeons then came to restrict their practice to vascular surgery despite a dual general and vascular qualification. The revolution in vascular surgery over the last 10-15 years has been the switch to Endovascular surgery. Many arterial operations can now be held in reserve for severe cases. Patients can be treated by angioplasty or stenting to good effect with reasonable safety and durability.

Over the last 5-10 years varicose vein surgery has fallen out of favour and is being replaced by venous procedures in the rooms. These avoid surgery and anaesthesia and hospitalisation and are reasonably effective in the control of varicose vein disease.

The aim of our clinic is to provide a surgically based opinion which may include surgical operations but often includes minimally invasive arterial endovascular procedures or endovenous venous procedures. Our website reflects these interests and tries to indicate the scope of our clinic’s expertise.
