Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory Phlebectomy is a treatment for superficial varicose veins. The procedure involves the removal of the varicose veins through small 2-3 mm incisions in the skin overlying the veins. The procedure may be performed in hospital or outpatient settings.
Graded compression stockings are usually worn for 1-2 weeks after the procedure. Patients usually return to normal light activity immediately after the procedure.
