Stab phlebectomy removes visible varicose veins through tiny skin openings without large incisions.
Stab phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to physically remove surface varicose veins that are prominent or bulging. The procedure involves making very small skin punctures through which the affected veins are gently extracted using specialised instruments.
This method is commonly used for veins that are close to the skin and cannot be effectively treated with ablation alone. Stab phlebectomy is often performed alongside other vein procedures to improve overall results. As the incisions are extremely small, they usually heal without stitches and leave minimal marks
The affected veins are marked while standing, and suitability for removal is assessed based on vein size and location.
Tiny skin openings are made, and the targeted veins are removed using specialised instruments under local anesthesia.
Compression is applied, walking is encouraged soon after, and most individuals return to routine activities within a short time
