Phlebectomy

A phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove varicose veins located close to the surface of the skin. These veins may cause symptoms such as leg pain, heaviness, swelling, itching, skin changes, or discomfort.

WHAT TO EXPECT

During the procedure, small openings are made in the skin to remove the affected veins. The procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia in an outpatient setting and requires little downtime.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS

IMPORTANT NOTE

Your vascular specialist will determine whether a phlebectomy is appropriate based on your symptoms, vein anatomy, ultrasound findings, and overall vascular health.
