How Does Ambulatory Microphlebectomy Help With Vein Removal

Varicose veins are distressing in many ways to patients and its cosmetic effects are the main reason why people prefer to go in for a surgery to get rid of them. One of the best, tried, and tested ways in which they can be operated on is Ambulatory microphlebectomy. It is called Ambulatory because of the way the procedure is carried out. It can be done in an outpatient setting and the patient can return to everyday life almost immediately after the treatment.

How is it done?

Simply put, Ambulatory microphlebectomy is making small slits on the skin, sending a few small hooks under it, hooking the vein to be removed and pulling it out through the incision made. It was developed by a Swiss surgeon Dr. Robert Muller in the 1950's. There are three different hook sizes used and they are also differentiated by how sharp or blunt they are and their applications differ according to they way they are made.

Why choose Ambulatory microphlebectomy?

• It is a minimally invasive procedure, there will be no extensive surgery or teams of people working on your skin.
• Effects are long lasting and you can recover almost immediately. The total time spent in the hospital is less than a day, down time is also nil, this means you can get back to everyday work the very next day.
• It leaves no scars. The procedure involves incisions as small as 2mm or a needle puncture, this means there will be almost no scars.
• Risks involved with traditional surgery are non-existent.
• The procedure will instantly remove the ungainly, bulging veins and leave the region looking smooth.
