This procedure is also called vein crochet. It involves pulling out the varicose veins using a special hook. The lesioned veins are removed through 1-2 mm incisions, often without placing skin sutures. The procedure leaves no unsightly marks. The miniflebectomy is performed under local anaesthesia. After the procedure, a compression stocking is applied to the limb.
