Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Removal of bulging surface varicose veins through tiny skin punctures — combined with EVLA / RFA for visible cosmetic improvement and complete relief in a single sitting.
What is Ambulatory Phlebectomy?
Ambulatory Phlebectomy is a precise day-care procedure to remove bulging surface varicose veins through 1–2 mm skin punctures using specialised hooks. It is most effective when combined with EVLA or RFA in the same sitting — the truncal vein is sealed from inside, and the visible bulging branches are removed for an immediate cosmetic improvement. Dr. Tejasree Vengala performs ambulatory phlebectomy at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, with attention to careful skin marking, neat technique and excellent long-term outcomes.
How the Procedure Works
Skin Marking & Anaesthesia
The bulging surface veins are carefully marked while the patient is standing. Local anaesthesia is given along the vein course.
Tiny Skin Punctures
Very small 1–2 mm skin punctures are made along the vein. No formal cuts are required.
Vein Hooking & Removal
Specialised phlebectomy hooks are used to gently grasp and remove segments of the bulging vein through the tiny punctures.
Combined Treatment
When done with EVLA / RFA, the truncal vein is sealed from inside in the same sitting for complete management.
Compression & Recovery
The puncture sites are covered with steri-strips, compression stockings are applied, and patients walk and go home the same day.
