Microphlebectomy Treatment at DRHC Dubai at DRHC Dubai

Microphlebectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove varicose veins, providing relief from discomfort and improving the appearance of the affected area. At DRHC Dubai, we offer state-of-the-art microphlebectomy treatment, tailored to each patient’s needs, using advanced techniques for the best outcomes.

What is Microphlebectomy?

Microphlebectomy, also known as ambulatory phlebectomy, is a procedure used to remove varicose veins through small incisions in the skin. It is highly effective for medium to large varicose veins that are close to the surface. The procedure involves extracting the problematic veins to restore proper blood flow and eliminate the appearance of bulging veins.

Unlike traditional vein stripping surgery, microphlebectomy is performed under local anesthesia, is less invasive, and has a quicker recovery time.

Who is candidate for Microphlebectomy?

Microphlebectomy is an ideal treatment for patients experiencing:

• Visible Varicose Veins: Prominent veins that are swollen, twisted, and often bulging under the skin.
• Discomfort or Pain: Aching, throbbing, or heaviness in the legs due to venous insufficiency.
• Skin Changes: Discoloration, itching, or skin ulcers caused by long-standing varicose veins.
• Cosmetic Concerns: Patients looking to improve the appearance of their legs by removing unsightly veins.

It is important to consult with a vein specialist at DRHC Dubai to determine if microphlebectomy is the right treatment for you.

The Microphlebectomy Procedure

At DRHC Dubai, the microphlebectomy procedure is performed by our experienced vascular surgeons in a sterile and comfortable environment. Here is what you can expect during the procedure:

• Local Anesthesia: The area around the varicose veins is numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure a painless experience.
• Tiny Incisions: Small incisions (about 2-3 mm) are made along the path of the affected veins. These incisions are so small that no stitches are typically required, and they heal with minimal scarring.
• Vein Removal: Using specialized surgical hooks, the varicose veins are gently extracted through the small incisions. The surrounding healthy veins take over the circulation, improving overall blood flow in the legs.
• Closure and Bandaging: After the veins are removed, the small incisions are covered with sterile bandages, and compression stockings are applied to support healing and reduce swelling.

The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of veins being treated.

Recovery and Aftercare

Microphlebectomy offers a fast recovery with minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities within a day or two after the procedure. Here are some tips for post-procedure care:

• Wear Compression Stockings: Patients are advised to wear compression stockings for several days or weeks to promote healing and improve circulation.
• Stay Active: Light walking is encouraged soon after the procedure to enhance blood flow and reduce the risk of blood clots.
• Avoid Heavy Lifting: Strenuous activities or heavy lifting should be avoided for about a week to allow the treated area to heal properly.
• Minimize Sun Exposure: Keep the treated area protected from direct sunlight to prevent skin discoloration during the healing process.

Follow-up visits with your doctor at DRHC Dubai will ensure that the veins are healing correctly and that no further issues arise.

Benefits of Microphlebectomy

Microphlebectomy offers a range of benefits for those suffering from varicose veins, including:

• Minimally Invasive: No general anesthesia is required, and the procedure is performed with only small incisions.
• Quick Recovery: Patients can return to daily activities soon after the procedure.
• Highly Effective: Microphlebectomy effectively removes problematic veins, preventing recurrence.
• Improved Appearance: The procedure significantly enhances the appearance of the legs by eliminating bulging varicose veins.
• Pain Relief: In addition to cosmetic improvements, patients experience relief from symptoms such as leg pain, heaviness, and swelling.

Risks and Considerations

As with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks involved with microphlebectomy, although complications are rare. These may include:

• Bruising and Swelling: Mild bruising or swelling around the treatment area is common but typically resolves within a few days.
• Infection: Though rare, infection can occur at the incision sites, and proper wound care is essential.
• Temporary Numbness: Some patients may experience temporary numbness in the treated area due to nerve irritation.
• Scarring: While scarring is minimal, small marks may remain at the incision sites.

Our team at DRHC Dubai will discuss all potential risks with you prior to the procedure and provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions to minimize any side effects.
