Microphlebectomy for Columbia, MS Patients
For Columbia residents dealing with vein concerns, the Vein Institute's Hattiesburg location offers microphlebectomy in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Every visit starts with a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your specific symptoms and goals.
What Is Microphlebectomy?
A minimally invasive, in-office procedure to remove bulging varicose veins close to the skin's surface.
Microphlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove bulging varicose veins that sit close to the surface of the skin. Through tiny, nearly invisible openings, Dr. J. Keith Thompson gently removes the damaged vein segments, allowing blood to naturally reroute through healthier veins.
