Micro Phlebectomy
Micro Phlebectomy
Micro phlebectomy, also known as ambulatory phlebectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove varicose veins. Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins that bulge just beneath the surface of the skin, often on the legs. While they can be a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can also cause pain, aching, and swelling.
Advantages of Microphlebectomy
Minimally invasive: Microphlebectomy does not require general anesthesia. Typically, only a local anesthetic is used to numb the area around the vein, minimizing potential risks and side effects associated with general anesthesia.
Outpatient procedure: Microphlebectomy can often be performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home the same day as the procedure. This reduces recovery time spent in a healthcare facility and allows you to return to your daily routine sooner.
Minimal scarring: Microphlebectomy uses small incisions, typically less than a few millimeters long. These small entry points minimize scarring and promote a quicker healing process.
Quick recovery: Most patients experience a relatively quick recovery time after microphlebectomy compared to more invasive vein procedures. This is due to the smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding tissues.
Conditions treated by Microphlebectomy
Varicose veins: Microphlebectomy is a common treatment for small to medium-sized varicose veins. By removing these varicose veins, microphlebectomy can improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms like pain, achiness, and fatigue.
Spider veins: In some cases, microphlebectomy may also be used to treat larger spider veins. Spider veins are smaller, reddish, or bluish veins that appear close to the surface of the skin. While typically not as bothersome as varicose veins, spider veins can be a cosmetic concern for some patients.
Don’t let vein issues affect your life.
