Minimally Invasive Surgical Excision

Minimally Invasive Surgical ExcisionMinimally Invasive Surgical Excision of varicose veins is known by several names, including, Micro-Phlebectomy or Stab Avulsion Phlebectomy. It involves making very small surgical incisions to permanently remove offending varicose veins.

These treatments are used for patients with mild venous reflux and medium to large sized varicose veins. It is often performed at the same time as a saphenous vein stripping procedure or a saphenous vein ablation procedure. The benefits of these methods are that they are very effective and durable. The scars related to the micro-incisions are minimal.

Additional minimally invasive procedures include saphenous vein ligation without stripping. This involves a small incision, 3 to 4 cm long, in the bikini line to identify the failed saphenous vein connection and ligate or disconnect it from the surrounding veins.
