Episode Summary
Hey Mufreir! Welcome back to the podcast!
We are so happy to have Dr. Mark Whiteley back in this second episode of the show! All the way from the United Kingdom, Dr. Whiteley is here to talk to us about his innovation process, what he’s doing with HIFU treatments and the differences between RVTs in America and in the UK. He also recalls one of the most heart-stopping moments in his life, where, fortunately, the patient ended up just fine. Dr. Mark and Brian also chat about patient feedback, who should be in the room during procedures, and doctors that don’t have a case registry.
Tune in to the previous and this episode to listen to Dr. Mark’s complete experience!

Professor Mark Whiteley is a Consultant Venous Surgeon and Consultant Phlebologist specializing in walk-in, walk-out surgery for varicose veins in the UK. He introduced endovenous surgery to the UK in 1999 and set up the internationally renowned “The Whiteley Clinic” in 2001. He now has 3 clinics in the UK and is opening a 4th in April 2022.
Mark invented the TRLOP technique to treat incompetent perforating veins in 2000 and
introduced endovenous microwave and High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to
the UK in 2019. Mark set up The College of Phlebology in 2011 and now runs training
courses and fellowships, as well as the College of Phlebology International Vein
Registry.

Disorders, has won multiple international prizes for his work and has over 146 peer-reviewed publications. He has written three books on venous disease, including the first one featured on Amazon on the venous causes of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome.
Key Takeaways
- HIFU is a technique that makes veins shrink without damaging any tissue at all.
- HIFU uses the same technology as the ultrasound machines that OBGYNs use to see babies.
- If one does not get experts to do something, the results will probably not be successful.
- You’ve got to find people that are interested in doing the job, and this applies to every service you ever get.

Key Takeaways
- It is usual that residents rotate through specialties to get a sense of all of them before they choose one.
- Pelvic venous disorders occur in the male population too, while some doctors and experts think that it only affects females.
- Doctors have to start listening to the other people in their teams.
- Professional growth occurs when you take into account more opinions and thoughts besides your own.
- Many Vascular Surgeons are focused on only arteries, leaving out the veins or if they do treat veins, they do so with little regard or respect for the disease. Instead of treating vein disease they simply perform vein procedures, there is a difference.
