Ambulatory phlebectomy is a dermatological procedure that can be performed on an outpatient basis. During the procedure, superficial veins are removed through the use of slit-like, small skin incisions. Prior to the procedure, a dermatologist will do a physical exam and go over the patient's medical history. The patient and the doctor should discuss the potential risks, outcomes, and expectations for the procedure. A doctor should evaluate whether an individual's varicose veins are the main issue, or whether other veins may need treatment first. They should also evaluate if any of the varicose veins have blood clots, and if any other procedures are also necessary. Ambulatory phlebectomy isn't recommended for patients who can't wear compression socks or walk on their own.
