Küttner Operation

Küttner operation is a surgical procedure that was developed by German surgeon Hans Küttner in 1900. It is used to treat stenosis (narrowing) of the arteries and veins in the legs.

Küttner surgery is a non-invasive method that does not require large incisions in the skin. It involves removing part of the vessel wall that narrows the lumen of the vessel. This allows you to increase blood flow through the vessel and improve blood circulation in the legs.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. After surgery, the patient can return home the next day.

The advantages of Kuettner surgery include quick recovery, low risk of complications and low cost. However, like any surgical procedure, it may have some risks and side effects, such as bleeding, infection, and damage to nearby tissue.

In general, Küttner surgery is an effective treatment for stenosis of the arteries and veins of the legs. It can help improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of complications such as stroke or heart attack. However, before performing this operation, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient's condition and conduct the necessary examination.
