What Is Microphlebectomy?
What Issues Can be Treated with Microphlebectomy?
During the past couple of decades, microphlebectomy has been successfully used to treat varicose veins of all sizes at almost all parts of the body with the exception of saphenofemoral or saphenopopliteal junctions. Accordingly, microphlebectomy is usually performed for removing the very superficial veins that remain after treating saphenous vein reflux with surgery, or endovenous thermal ablation techniques, such as EVLT or Venefit. Microphlebectomy is also the treatment of choice for the veins that appear on the dorsal aspect of the foot and around the ankles because venous surgery and Sclerotherapy are only suitable for special cases in that region. Despite the fact that microphlebectomy is a very time-consuming procedure, it is widely used in many countries because capital investment is the least with this technique, results are lasting, and the cosmetic outcome is excellent, especially for the very superficial varicose veins. As with other vein treatment techniques, ambulatory microphlebectomy is most effective when the sources of reflux are identified and eliminated before removing any superficial vein.THE RESULTS WERE AMAZING!
“For many years, doctors told me the only way to remove my bulging, painful varicose veins was by performing surgery. But I didn’t want to go under the knife – with its risks, long downtime, and pain! As a massage therapist, I needed to be back to work quickly. At Nu Vela Vein Center, Dr. Dishakijan suggested foam sclerotherapy as a much safer, easier solution. It only took a few minutes, and the results were amazing! Within two days, the aching and heaviness that I had felt for 15 years disappeared. My legs already look a lot better in just two weeks. I’m finally looking forward to wearing shorts this summer”by Karen R.
The Microphlebectomy Procedure
Recovering from Your Microphlebectomy
When the procedure is over, the patient is asked to walk around in the office before leaving, wear compression stockings for at least five days and avoid direct sun exposure of the legs for a couple of weeks to minimize scarring. The Patient will be able to resume regular activities immediately after the procedure.Potential Complications of Microphlebectomy
The incidence of complications following microphlebectomy is low. Scars at the incision sites would hardly be noticeable after a few months, except when the vein removed has required a relatively large incision and the patient has exposed the area to the sun in the first couple of weeks following the procedure. Wound necrosis, unsightly scars, and infection do not occur, but the occurrence of hematomas is common. Rare complications of microphlebectomy include the appearance of spider veins near the sites of incisions, pigmentation, blister formation, and temporary or permanent nerve damage.The Cost of Microphlebectomy
