Removal of the Short Saphenous Vein

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 37718

This surgery ties off and removes the short (lesser) saphenous vein, a vein that runs up the back of the calf, when it has become varicose and is causing pain, swelling, or skin changes. The surgeon makes small incisions to tie off the vein at its connection point and pull it out along its length. It is an older, more invasive alternative to the minimally invasive vein treatments used today.
