Laser vein removal near me stripping surgery removes a damaged vein from the leg. Before surgery begins, the patient must be placed under general or spinal anesthesia. Next, the surgeon makes two incisions, one below the damaged vein and another in the groin. The surgeon then ties off (ligates) the vein to halt blood flow, removing the vein from the body. Finally, stitches are used to close the incisions. The procedure causes the body to reroute blood through healthy veins.
