What is "ambulatory phlebectomy"?

Ambulatory phlebectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove varicose veins, which are enlarged and twisted veins that can cause discomfort, swelling, or aching in the legs, through small cuts or openings in the skin. It is performed in a way that patients can go home the same day of the procedure. During ambulatory phlebectomy, the surgeon makes tiny cuts along the affected vein and removes it using a special tool. This procedure is chosen by individuals with varicose veins who experience discomfort or swelling, wanting to improve the appearance and ease symptoms. Recovery from ambulatory phlebectomy is usually quick, with very little discomfort and recovery time, allowing patients to resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
