Microphlebectomy for Hattiesburg, MS Patients
Patients from Hattiesburg travel a short distance to our Hattiesburg office for microphlebectomy. The Vein Institute is home to South Mississippi's only 100%, full-time, board-certified vein specialist, and we welcome patients from Hattiesburg and nearby communities.
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.

How It Works & Recovery
Your visit begins with a straightforward check-in, followed by time with your provider to go over your symptoms and concerns. Most patients also have an ultrasound exam the same day, which helps confirm the diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.
