What Is An Ambulatory Phlebectomy?

Here’s what you should know about this common varicose vein procedure.

Have you developed thick, twisted, and bulging veins in your legs? If so, you could be dealing with varicose veins. Whether your varicose veins are causing you pain or not, you may wish to find out more about the treatment options your Morristown, Sparta, Pompton Plains, and Teaneck, NJ, vein doctors offer for getting rid of this unsightly and sometimes painful issue.

What is an ambulatory phlebectomy? 

This minimally invasive procedure is performed by our vein doctors and it’s the ideal solution for treating bulging varicose veins. Regardless of whether your veins are causing you problems or not, many people benefit from this simple surgical procedure that uses small injections to treat varicose veins. Plus, many people are thrilled to hear that this is a quick outpatient procedure. You don’t need to be under general anesthesia and there’s no need to stay in the hospital. We can perform the procedure in our Morristown, Sparta, Pompton Plains, and Teaneck, NJ, locations.

Is this the best treatment option for me? 

One reason we recommend coming into our practice for an evaluation is because we offer a full range of different treatment options for treating varicose veins. While an ambulatory phlebotomy can be a great solution, it’s not the only option. We will need to take certain factors including your health and activity level into account when deciding which type of procedure is ideal for treating your varicose veins. Other options include sclerotherapy and radiofrequency ablation. We’d be happy to sit down with you during your consultation to discuss which option is ideal.

What is the recovery time like? 

Since this procedure is minimally invasive, you’ll be able to go home the very same day and recovery time is very minimal. In fact, most people can return to their normal activities within 24 hours. Of course, you may be advised by our team to wear compression socks immediately after the procedure to boost blood flow and circulation in the legs.

I really need the super honest part as his patient because I have been on dialysis for almost 20yrs time around and then dealing with end-stage renal failure since I was 13 and I was born with circle kidney so I need someone who is going to be upfront and honest with me and compassion at the same time and he is the ONLY surgeon to get three fistulas working on me! No one in 42 years has ever done that! He is the best surgeon I have ever had! Omg... and his staff is phenomenal !"
