Microphlebectomy (Varicose Vein Treatment)
Do your legs feel tired and achy at the end of the day? Have you stopped wearing shorts because you don't like the way your legs look? Vein problems are not related to artery problems such as those that cause heart disease. But, abnormal leg veins can affect your health and your self-image. Treatments for these veins include:
- self-care
- minimally invasive treatments
- surgery
They can relieve symptoms and help you feel better about your appearance, too.
In some cases, surgery is needed to remove varicose veins. Microphlebectomy can be used to treat small varicose veins. If a saphenous vein needs to be removed, ligation with stripping may be done. Surgery may be performed in the surgeon's office, an outpatient surgery center, or a hospital. You can expect to go home within a few hours after surgery is complete.
After Vein Treatment is Complete:
Treatment for spider and varicose veins can help you feel better and look better. To ensure the best results, keep follow-up appointments with your doctor. Use self-care to aid recovery and help reduce symptoms.

Minimally Invasive Procedures
Minimally invasive surgical procedures avoid open invasive surgery with less trauma. These procedures involve use of laparoscopic devices and remote-control manipulation of instruments with indirect observation of the surgical field through an endoscopic or similar device, and are carried out through the skin or thorugh a body cavity or anatomical opening. This may result in shorter hospital stays, or as an outpatient treatment. Many medical procedures are called minimally invasive, such as:
