Peripheral Vascular/Veins

  • Access/Central venous catheters of all types
  • Radiofrequency Endovenous Ablation/MOCA/Phlebectomy/Sclerotherapy – treatment options available for varicose veins

UMI (Ultra Minimally Invasive)

This specific technique was thought of by Dr. Serrano himself. It incorporates the advanced techniques of robotics and laparoscopy to produce a cosmetic outcome far superior to both, with less risk and reduced cost. It is an option, but because of it’s high level of technicality there are more provisions on who can be a candidate. Dr. Serrano can help you make this decision.

Laparoscopy
