Microphlebectomy for Varicose Veins

large, painful varicose veins

Microphlebectomy, often called ambulatory phlebectomy or stab phlebectomy, is a procedure that involves removing larger varicose veins through very small incisions in the skin using local anesthesia. This minimally invasive technique uses numerous tiny, almost invisible incisions, differing from older methods that required larger cuts. 

Benefits of Microphlebectomy

According to studies, the microphlebectomy procedure show a long-term success rate of over 90%. The top benefits are immediate relief from panful varicose veins and cosmetic improvement. 

  • Minimally Invasive: Uses tiny incisions to remove the veins under local anesthesia and light sedation in the doctor's office, causing less disruption than traditional surgery.
  • Symptom Relief: Alleviates leg discomfort and pain, aching, heaviness, and swelling caused by varicose veins.
  • Immediate Results: The large varicose veins are removed instantly during the procedure, providing immediate gratification.
  • Improved Circulation: Restores proper blood flow by removing damaged veins, reducing strain on the heart.
  • Reduced Risk of Complications: Prevents complications like blood clots and venous insufficiency.
  • Improved Appearance: Removes large, bulging veins, resulting in smoother and more attractive-looking legs that can lead to greater self-confidence and freedom.
  • Increased Mobility: Improves physical activity and allows for a more active lifestyle.
  • Quick Recovery: Patients often return to daily activities within a day or two.
  • Minimal Scarring: Tiny incisions typically result in minimal, often fading, scars.

Is Microphlebectomy Right for You?

A Microphlebectomy may be right for you if you have painful, bulging varicose veins that haven't responded to other treatment. However, it should be avoided if you have active skin infections, significant arterial circulation problems, severe uncontrolled medical conditions, or a high risk of blood clots. You also need to be able to walk and wear compression stockings to be a suitable candidate for a microphlebectomy. Our expert vein specialists will conduct a thorough diagnosis to determine if the procedure is appropriate for your specific condition.
