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.
