Microphlebectomy in Bethesda, MD
When people are looking to treat large varicose veins, they may want to consider a microphlebectomy. This is a procedure which requires no anesthetization and can be completed in less than an hour.
After marking and numbing the area to be treated, the process involves a surgeon making tiny incisions of less than a quarter of an inch in order to take out the damaged section of the bulging vein, usually about an inch. Because these incisions are made vertically, the marks are almost impossible to see after healing has occurred. A bandage is then applied and should be worn for a day or two. The follow-up care includes wearing compression stockings for a short time.
Those choosing a microphlebectomy to treat varicose veins need not be concerned about bleeding problems or recovery time. Most can return to work the day after the procedure is done. Some may experience minor discomfort so an oral pain medication may be prescribed for a few days.
A microphlebectomy procedure is extremely effective and has a high rate of success for most patients. Because it is non-invasive, even elderly patients are good candidates for a microphlebectomy.
