Peter Rutter MS FRCS
| Training | Prior to being a consultant I had been the Senior Registrar in the internationally renowned Vascular Unit at St Mary’s Hospital Paddington. I studied vein surgery under John Hobbs who was one of the leading names in vein surgery in the world. |
| Current Position | I took up the post of Consultant Vascular Surgeon at Wexham Park and Heatherwood in 1992 and have been the Director of Surgery at Wexham Park for 6 years. |
| Research and development | I have performed varicose veins surgery for over 30 years but introduced Doppler Ultrasound investigation in 1994 and then keyhole (Trivex) surgery in the late 90s. I was a member of the small group of surgeons who introduced the minimally invasive Foam Doppler Guided sclerotherapy to this country in the inaugural ‘Provensis’ Study which compared foam treatment with surgery. I was asked by Provensis to examine the success of foam treatment at 2 years after treatment. After training in America I was the first surgeon in the country to perform VNUS under local anaesthetic in the UK. Like Andrew I perform all the modern treatments for varicose veins, including VNUS, Laser (VLT), Foam and keyhole surgery. |
Andrew Gordon MS FRCS
| Training | I initially trained in vascular surgery in London and subsequently on the Academic Surgical Unit in Oxford. |
| Current Position | I have been in post at Heatherwood and Wexham Park since 1995 as a Consultant vascular and general surgeon. I am a member of the Vascular Society, the Venous Forum of the Royal Society of Medicine and the British Association of Sclerotherapists. |
| Research and development | I have considerable experience in conventional surgery for varicose veins and have been involved in training others in the more recent treatments of Trivex and SEPS (a keyhole operation for varicose veins causing leg ulcers). I have been performing the VNUS procedure for 7 years in East Berkshire and trained fully in laser treatment and sclerotherapy. |
