Varicose veins stripping is a surgical procedure used to remove varicose veins, which are enlarged, twisted, and often painful veins that can occur in the legs. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours to complete.
The surgery is done by making small incisions in the skin, and then using specialized instruments to locate and remove the varicose vein. The procedure is called vein stripping because the surgeon “strips” the vein out of the leg through the incision. After the procedure, the patient will have to wear compression stockings for some period of time and avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks.
Varicose vein stripping is considered a safe and effective treatment for varicose veins, but it may have potential risks such as bleeding, infection, and allergic reactions. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment option for your individual needs and goals. It is also important to note that varicose vein stripping may not address the underlying venous reflux disease and other methods such as endovenous ablation therapy may be necessary for more severe cases.
