Flebektomiana

Flebektomiana, also known as ambulatory phlebectomy or microphlebectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat varicose veins. It is typically performed under local anesthesia and involves the removal of superficial varicose veins through small incisions in the skin. The procedure is an alternative to traditional vein stripping and is often preferred for its cosmetic outcome and faster recovery time.

During flebektomiana, the surgeon makes tiny punctures or incisions along the path of the varicose vein. Using specialized instruments, such as a hook or forceps, the vein is then carefully extracted through these small openings. The incisions are so small that they often do not require stitches and heal with a minimal or no visible scar. The patient is usually able to walk immediately after the procedure and can return to normal activities within a day or two.

Flebektomiana is particularly effective for larger, bulging varicose veins that are close to the surface of the skin. It can be performed as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other vein treatments like sclerotherapy or endovenous thermal ablation. The procedure aims to eliminate the problematic veins, thereby improving symptoms such as leg pain, swelling, and heaviness, and enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the legs. Potential risks, though generally low, can include bruising, infection, or temporary numbness.
