In this outpatient procedure, microphlebectomy is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional vein stripping. One of its key advantages is the minimal downtime required for recovery. Patients can expect a quicker return to their daily activities.
The benefits
Varicose veins can cause significant discomfort. Fortunately, a microphlebectomy is a procedure designed to eliminate these veins. This minimally invasive technique effectively removes the affected veins. Patients often experience relief from pain following the procedure. Overall, microphlebectomy offers a solution for those struggling with varicose veins.
What to expect
Before your treatment, you’ll have a thorough consultation to discuss your options for varicose vein treatment, including microphlebectomy. The microphlebectomy procedure takes place in our office and typically lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. After numbing the area, small incisions are made, and a hooked instrument is used to remove the varicose veins without the need for stitches. Following the procedure, be sure to follow the aftercare instructions, as you can return to most normal activities within 24 hours but should avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks.
