AP (Ambulatory Phlebectomy) is a procedure which allows for the removal of large surface varicosities through very small incisions that need no stitches.  Patients can go back to work and normal activity after 24 hours.

Ambulatory phlebectomy is an in office procedure to remove surface varicosities. During this procedure the diseased vein is delicately pulled through small needle punctures. The incision is so small that stitches are not required, and compared to traditional vein stripping, this technique has virtually no scarring or side effects.

The recovery time is minimal with ambulatory phlebectomy. In fact patients walk for 20 minutes after the procedure in our office. Daily walking is encouraged. Only strenuous exercise is discouraged for 7 – 10 days, as well as using a hot tub or going swimming. With this procedure, a compression bandage is worn for 2 weeks. This minimizes swelling and discomfort and allows for proper healing.
