Benefits of ambulatory phlebectomy
Ambulatory phlebectomy is a recommended treatment for patients with considerably large and swollen varicose veins. This procedure aims to completely remove the diseased vein, but unlike vein stripping, it replaces large incisions with a series of tiny incisions along the length of the vein. These small cuts, measuring 1 to 2 millimeters, allow the damaged vein to be carefully removed using surgical hooks. Ambulatory phlebectomy is most effective for veins that are close to the skin’s surface and can be performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. This procedure not only helps patients avoid the inconvenience and expense of a hospital visit but also delivers excellent medical and cosmetic results, with minimal pain and extremely short recovery times. The incisions associated with ambulatory phlebectomy are very small and do not require stitches, resulting in almost invisible scarring. When it comes to vein treatment, the Florida vein treatment specialists at the Kimmel Institute have extensive experience with ambulatory phlebectomy and are ready to address any questions you may have about this advanced and state-of-the-art procedure.
What to Expect from Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove varicose veins through small incisions in the skin. This outpatient treatment is highly effective for eliminating unsightly and uncomfortable varicose veins, providing both cosmetic and medical benefits.
Procedure Overview:
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at Jaimes Medical Group. Our experienced specialists will assess your varicose veins, discuss your medical history, and determine if ambulatory phlebectomy is the right option for you.
- Preparation: On the day of your procedure, you will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare. This may include avoiding certain medications and wearing loose, comfortable clothing.
- The Procedure: During ambulatory phlebectomy, local anesthesia is applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. Small incisions are made near the varicose veins, and the veins are gently removed using a specialized hook. The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the varicose veins.
- Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, you will be advised to wear compression stockings to support healing and reduce swelling. Our team will provide you with specific post-procedure care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
