Varicose Vein Treatment by Suction-assisted Shaving Phlebectomy without the Use of Transillumination/Irrigation: A Simple Quick and Effective Method

摘要

Traditional management of saphenous vein incompetency is using high ligation and stripping with multiple stab incision phlebectomies for the varicose tributaries. A number of minimally invasive options have been described, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. We describe a new technique using suction-assisted shaving phlebectomy without transillumination and irrigation in the management of varicose veins.
