Vascular surgery. Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries, veins and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction.
Vascular surgeons are doctors that specialize in treating conditions involving the blood vessels in the body. This includes treating varicose veins and spider veins. In severe cases of varicose veins â such as when they cause an ulcer on the skin â a vascular surgeon may use endoscopic vein surgery.
