Microphlebectomy
Microphlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the removal of large, superficial varicose veins. Very small incisions, which may not even require any stitches are made. These incisions are generally 2-6 mm in length. Unlike traditional and more invasive surgeries, this can be held in our office.

What Is The Recovery Like After A Microphlebectomy? Mild to moderate pain can be expected after this procedure as well as bruising. The pain varies depending on the amount of incisions made. A medicine against pain may be prescribed. For recovery, it is necessary to take the entire day off and you should keep your leg as much elevated as possible. Usually compression hoses are placed over the clothes and have to be worn continuously for the first 24 hours. Afterwards it is only necessary to wear them while standing or moving and for about two more weeks.
