A member asked:
Help plz! can phlebectomy procedure be done with having ablation of gsv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Phlebectomy (microphlebectomy) is often routinely performed in conjunction with GSV ablation. These procedures are done under local and tumescent anesthesia and are usually done in the office. Both of these procedures can also be performed independent of each other.
