An ambulatory phlebectomy is an outpatient procedure performed to remove varicose veins through very small incisions in the skin, and is usually done as an adjunctive treatment to endovenous laser therapy. Since veins are extremely collapsible, even the largest affected veins can often be removed through tiny incisions using the ambulatory phlebectomy procedure. This minimally invasive treatment does not require sutures or general anesthesia and can easily be performed in the doctor's office with minimal downtime. Circulation will not be affected by removing the damaged veins, as there are many surrounding veins to take over. After damaged veins have been removed, blood flow is redirected to healthy veins in the leg which helps reinstate a normal blood flow.
Ambulatory phlebectomy treats symptomatic and asymptomatic veins and can relieve both medical and cosmetic concerns in one simple procedure.
