Ambulatory phlebectomy has been done already in Greek and Roman times. It was since forgotten for many centuries, but it has been revived by Müller in 1956. Ambulatory phlebectomy is one of the most rewarding instances of ambulatory surgery. It consists of the comprehensive extraction of the varices through extremely small stab incisions, followed immediately by vigorous marching. It calls for team work: The surgeon performs the high ligation and stripping of the proximal third of the greater saphenous vein, and the phlebologist removes all the other varices. And it is an almost ideal treatment, as it provides efficiency as well as excellent cosmetic results at low costs and is also harmless.
