Mini-Phlebectomy

Mini-PhlebectomyMini-Phlebectomy is a method of removing large varicose veins through tiny incisions made along the course of the varicose vein. A special surgical hooking instrument that was developed and designed by our doctor is used to tease out and eventually remove segments of the varicose vein. The incisions are small enough such that sutures are not required. Therefore, there is little to no scarring with this technique and the results are virtually immediate since the vein is removed in its entirety. The procedure is performed entirely using a local anesthetic. You should be able to return to work the following day. After the procedure, a compression wrap will be placed on your leg and kept on for the next 2 days. After that, you will wear compression stockings for two weeks. Generally, one or two sessions are required to remove all the varicose veins.
