A member asked:
I will be having a venous ablation procedure for severe venous reflux. is there untenable risk having both legs done during the same procedure? surgeon is willing but i'm feeling wary learning this is less commonly done.

Vascular surgeon: It is common practice to perform this procedure on both legs at the same sitting. If you're seeing a skilled vascular surgeon with experience in this procedure, I would take his/her advice.
