| Vascular and Wound Care Specialties | |
Vascular surgery is practiced by most of the surgeons at Charlotte Surgical. This is the practice of treating diseases of the circulatory system arteries and veins. Treatment may or may not include surgery. Sometimes a minimally invasive procedure can be done. Types of procedures typically performed are bypass surgery for blocked arteries, repair of aneurysms (dilated arteries), removal or chemical treatment of varicose veins, and others. In addition, treatment of wounds and skin infections is a large part of our practice. These may include diabetic ulcers, gangrene, venous ulcers, and wounds from injuries. In addition from expertise in dressing care, we may provide surgical treatment such as debridement (cleaning), skin grafting, arterial bypass or amputation.
