An outpatient procedure that removes surface varicose veins through tiny incisions, with immediate results and minimal complications.
Ambulatory phlebectomy removes visible varicose veins through a series of tiny incisions, using specialized clamps and hooks. The incisions are so small that no stitches are required, and even large varicose veins can be removed this way. Because the visible surface vein is physically removed, results are usually immediate and recurrence in that specific vein is unlikely. This procedure is performed by Dr. Hansen in partnership with Physicians Vein Clinics.
This is an outpatient procedure using only dilute local anesthesia, often performed alongside endovenous laser ablation. Afterward, you’ll wear compression stockings and bandages. Walking is immediately encouraged to support venous flow and reduce the risk of blood clot formation. Side effects are minimal.
Patients with visible, surface-level varicose veins may be good candidates for this procedure. Dr. Hansen or Physicians Vein Clinics will confirm your candidacy during your evaluation.
