Frequently Asked Questions
What does a vascular surgeon do?
A vascular surgeon diagnoses and treats diseases of the blood vessels, arteries and veins, throughout the body (except the heart and brain). They manage conditions like varicose veins, blocked arteries, aneurysms, and poor circulation. Treatment can range from lifestyle advice and medication to minimally invasive procedures or surgery.
When should I see a vascular surgeon?
You should see a vascular surgeon if you have leg pain when walking, non-healing wounds, visible varicose veins, swelling, or numbness in your limbs. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol are also at higher risk for vascular issues and should have regular check-ups.
Do vascular surgeons always perform surgery?
Not always. Despite the name, vascular surgeons don’t just operate, they focus on finding the best treatment for each patient. In many cases, conditions can be managed with medication, lifestyle changes, or minimally invasive procedures rather than open surgery.
Dr Pule served as a Community Service and Medical Officer in the North West Province, working in the Ngaka Modiri Molema and Bojanala districts respectively, where he demonstrated his passion for community healthcare by giving back to his hometown.
In October 2015, Dr Pule embraced on the role of Surgical Registrar at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital, a position he held with distinction until June 2021.
