About Phlebectomy

Phlebectomy, also known as microphlebectomy or ambulatory phlebectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by a vascular surgeon to remove varicose veins close to the skin's surface. It involves making tiny punctures or incisions along the affected vein, through which the vein is hooked and gently extracted. This outpatient procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, allowing patients to return home the same day. Phlebectomy is highly effective for treating symptomatic varicose veins that cause pain, swelling, or cosmetic concerns, offering immediate relief and minimal scarring. It is often combined with other treatments like endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for comprehensive venous disease management.
