In a hospital in Cornwall, England, surgeons are using a brand-new treatment for varicose veins. In the surgery, Radio waves are emitted from a probe to heat the vein, which causes the vein to close. This new type of surgery helps patients recover faster and with less pain than the old surgeries that require incisions to close the veins and anesthetics. Also, the surgeries are faster, so the hospital can treat more people. The radio wave surgery is helpful to both hospitals and their patients.
