Mikroflebektomia

Mikroflebektomia is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove small, superficial varicose veins. It is often employed for veins that are too small to be treated with traditional phlebectomy but too large or tortuous to be effectively managed with sclerotherapy. The procedure involves making tiny incisions, typically only a few millimeters long, along the path of the affected vein.

Through these small openings, the vein is meticulously dissected and removed in segments using specialized micro-surgical instruments. The patient's leg is usually numbed with local anesthetic before the procedure begins. The incisions are so small that they often do not require stitches and can be closed with sterile tape or adhesive strips.

Mikroflebektomia is generally performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can return home the same day. Recovery is typically rapid, with most individuals able to resume normal activities within a day or two. Compression stockings are usually recommended for a period after the procedure to aid healing and prevent recurrence. This technique is particularly useful for improving the cosmetic appearance of the legs by eliminating unsightly superficial veins. It can also help alleviate symptoms associated with these veins, such as aching or heaviness. The procedure is considered safe and effective for treating suitable candidates.
