What is ambulatory phlebectomy?
Ambulatory phlebectomy is a less invasive surgical technique used to remove superficial varicose veins through multiple small incisions in the skin. Ambulatory phlebectomy is highly effective in providing cosmetic results and relief from large bulging surface veins.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is able to be performed in an outpatient setting in our custom-built clinic. Patients are able to return to normal activities immediately post-procedure, with the exception of strenuous exercise for 2 weeks.
How is ambulatory phlebectomy performed?
- The skin is numbed with local anaesthesia.
- Small (~3 mm) incisions are made in the skin next to the enlarged veins.
- A phlebectomy hook is inserted under the skin to hook the vein.
- Gentle traction is applied to remove the vein through the incision site.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure takes approximately 1-2 hours.
Post-procedure
Treatments are followed by the application of compression stockings, which must be worn for approximately 2 weeks post-procedure.
Follow-up
2 weeks post-procedure, patients will be reviewed in clinic to assess the progress of their recovery. An ultrasound will be performed to exclude the very small risk of deep vein thrombosis.
