It is indicated for the lightest cases of microvarices. It can be carried out in a Day Hospital, or in the clinic. Anesthesia is applied only in the itinerary of the microvarices. The microvarices are removed through small incisions; so small that don't need stitches. The surgery is made using micro-hooks that remove the veins and eliminate them. A rest period of usually three to four days is necessary. After that, the normal activities can be restarted. After seven days, the patient can exercise. It is necessary to avoid the sun for some time, which varies according to each case. This procedure removes the reticular veins (microvarices) that are under the skin, forming bluish or greenish lines and that are frequently related to the telangiectasies or vases. These veins are very frequently on the back of the knee and on lateral area of the thigh and the leg. When they are associated the telangiectasies (spider veins), they are a source of inverted blood flow and blood stasis. In other words, they are partly responsible for the emergence of the vases and they should also be treated for better results. It is as if the reticular veins or microvarices were the branches and the vases the leaves. It doesn't make any sense to treat the leaves and to leave the branches that will bear new leaves after some time.
It is basically the same procedure that can be carried out with local anesthesia, but it's used for patients who have a large number of microvarices. In this case the Epidural anesthesia substitutes the local anesthesia. When the varicose veins are in great number, this procedure is more comfortable. The surgery is made at the day hospital. The patient may leave the hospital on the same day. The rest period after the procedure and the restrictions are the same ones indicated for the treatment with local anesthesia.
This treatment is indicated for patients who have collateral varicose veins of larger caliber (medium or big), but in a small number without the involvement of the saphenous vein. The veins are removed with local anesthesia, as in a microsurgery. The patient can go back home on the same day. The procedure can be accomplished at day hospital or in the Clinic.
