Say farewell to worry and stress when you head to the San Juan Islands . . . and say hello to the mellow islands vibe, a temperate year-round climate, and long, lazy hours of doing just what you want. Count on temperatures around 70Â° in the summer and 40Â° in the winter.
The types of varicose vein surgery include: 1  Ambulatory phlebectomy (also called micro-incision phlebectomy, hook phlebectomy, stab avulsion phlebectomy, and microphlebectomy) removes portions of varicose veins through small incisions using a hook. 2  Ligation and stripping usually removes the saphenous vein, a large vein in the leg.
Leg Vein Problems. Varicose veins are abnormally stretched or swollen veins that protrude from the surface of the skin. Generally found on the legs, varicose veins are the result of faulty vein valves or weak vein walls. Spider veins, or broken capillaries, are medically referred to as telangiectasia. They are dilated capillary veins less than 2mm in diameter that exist just below the surface of the skin on the legs or face.
