Mikroflebektómia

Mikroflebektómia is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat small, superficial varicose veins and spider veins. It involves the removal of these unwanted veins through tiny incisions, often no larger than a pinprick. The procedure is typically performed by a vascular surgeon or phlebologist.

Before the procedure, the affected veins are marked. Local anesthesia is then administered to numb the area. Using specialized instruments, the physician makes very small incisions along the length of the vein. The vein is then carefully dissected and removed in small segments. Due to the small size of the incisions and the veins being treated, sutures are usually not required. A compression bandage is applied after the procedure to help reduce swelling and promote healing.

Mikroflebektómia is generally considered a safe and effective treatment option for suitable candidates. It offers several advantages over traditional vein stripping surgery, including minimal scarring, a faster recovery time, and often a lower risk of complications. Patients can typically resume their normal activities within a day or two, although strenuous exercise may be temporarily restricted. The cosmetic outcome is usually excellent, with the treated veins disappearing soon after the procedure. It is important for patients to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if mikroflebektómia is the appropriate treatment for their specific condition.
