Phlebectomy
Vein Extraction through a Needle Hole
Phlebectomy is done under a local or a general anesthesia and does not involve any pain. The surgeon uses a tiny needle and creates a small hole above the varicose vein. Through the hole, the surgeon inserts a hook to extract and remove the vein. The hole is sealed using a special glue or sterile patches. The procedure suits people who suffer from large or medium varicose veins insufficiency without saphenous vein insufficiency.
