Phlebectomy is a surgical procedure commonly employed to treat varicose veins and related venous conditions. This minimally invasive technique involves making small incisions in the skin, typically just a few millimeters in length, through which the problematic veins are either removed or ligated (tied off). Phlebectomy is often recommended when varicose veins cause discomfort, pain, swelling, or cosmetic concerns. The procedure is generally well-tolerated by patients, and it offers several advantages, including a shorter recovery period compared to traditional vein stripping surgery.
During a phlebectomy, a local anesthetic is typically administered to numb the affected area, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon then uses a specialized tool to remove or tie off the veins, depending on the size and location of the varicose veins. Since the incisions are small, scarring is minimal, and most patients can return to their regular activities relatively quickly. Phlebectomy has proven to be an effective treatment option for those seeking relief from the symptoms and appearance of varicose veins, contributing to improved vascular health and an enhanced quality of life.
