Abstract:
Percutaneous Minisurgical Phlebectomy is a safe and effective form of permanent treatment for side-branch varicosis in addition to other varicose veins (except the proximal part of the long saphenous vein) by means of multiple 1 to 2 mm incisions. The operation is performed using local anaesthesia in the outpatient department. There is no need for prophylaxis against thrombosis. Complications are rare and inconsequential.
