About me

Mr Isaac Nyamekye graduated from University of Bristol Medical School in 1988 and trained in vascular surgery at University College London, Sheffield, and Bristol.

The thrust of his private practice is the expert management of varicose veins. A consultant since 2000 he has established expertise in ambulatory local anaesthetic endovenous (minimally invasive) techniques for varicose veins. These endovenous treatments including Laser, Radiofrequency, Foam sclerotherapy and more recently Endovenous Glue have eliminated the need for surgical incisions, leading to significantly improved patient reported outcomes measures (PROMS) and early return to normal activity.
Mr Nyamekye also undertakes a comprehensive range of arterial vascular operations, operations for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and the managment of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

Areas of interest

Varicose veins; Spider veins; Endovenous laser ablation; Radiofrequency ablation (Venefit, RFiTT and EVRF); Microinjection sclerotherapy and foam sclerotherapy; Endovenous Glue
Managing hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) with Botulinum toxin or keyhole surgery
