Mini-Phlebectomy
When the size and pressure of blood in a vein is too great for
sclerotherapy, the mini-phlebectomy procedure bridges the gap between
sclerotherapy and more invasive procedures.
Mini-phlebectomy, also called ambulatory, micro, or stab avulsion
phlebectomy, is an in-office surgical technique performed under
local anesthesia. The procedure involves removing the faulty vein
or perforator through minute incisions that require no stitches
and leave no scars. A patient that opts for mini-phlebectomy can
walk out of the office and participate in normal daily activities
immediately after the procedure. Mini-phlebectomy is often performed
in conjunction with Endolaser
and other techniques.
