About
Mr Louis Fligelstone is a Consultant Vascular Surgeon, in South Wales, with over two decades of experience in the field. Louis' main interest is the diagnosis and modern treatment of varicose veins and venous conditions. He utilises cutting edge, non-invasive technology including endothermal (heat treatments to seal the vein) such as radio-frequency ablation and injection treatments including ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy. He is also very experience in microsclerotherapy - the gold standard for treating thread and flare veins.
Louis is an elected, executive member of the council of the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland - the specialist society for Vascular Surgeons in the UK. He chairs the Annual Scientific Meeting Committee, which is responsible for the providing up to date information and education for Consultant and Trainee Vascular Surgeons.
Louis initially qualified as a doctor in 1986 at the University of Wales College of Medicine, after which he undertook a fellowship in Cardiff, during which he focused his research on abnormal clotting and peripheral arterial disease, for which he was awarded his Doctorate (MD), by the University of Wales. He undertook his Senior Registrar training at the Charing Cross Vascular Unit for training in Vascular surgery, after which he took up his Consultant Surgeon post in 1998.
During this post, Louis focused on achieving excellence regarding the diagnosis and treatment of vascular patients, and was the driving force behind a number major improvements of vascular and general surgery in Wales, such as the set up and quality assurance of the Wales Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening Programme. He is also an active trainer of junior and trainee vascular surgeons and is a founding member of the Surgical Acreditation Committee (SAC) for Vascular Surgery.
