Saphenectomy

Extirpation of deep varicose veins

Saphenectomy, commonly known as “stripping”, is a surgical procedure that involves removing the saphenous vein, most often as part of the treatment for venous insufficiency or varicose veins. This procedure is often recommended when the saphenous veins are clinically insufficient and have significant venous reflux, causing problems such as:

– feeling of heaviness in the legs
– circulatory disorders
– varicose veins
– nocturnal cramps
– spontaneous bruising
– edema (swelling)
– phlebitis

—

Procedure Overview

Saphenectomy is performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia, depending on the case. The surgeon makes an incision at the groin to expose the internal saphenous vein. Then, a device is passed inside the vein to detach it from the surrounding tissues along its entire length. Once detached, the vein is removed through a small incision at the ankle.

Dr. Pazira performs saphenectomy at our operating block in Quebec City.
