Abstract:
Objective To evaluate combination of traditional surgery and sclerotherapy in treating varicose veins of the lower extremity.Method This protocol includes high ligation of the great saphenous vein (GSV),stripping or laser closing of GSV above knee,injection of sclerosing agent into GSV below knee;ligating the perforator veins;sclerosing agent injection for varicose vein in 31 cases of varicose vein of the lower extremitis,among them seven were recurrent cases from April 2015 to June 2015.The clinical classification was as follows:nine cases of C2,four cases of C3,seventeen cases of C4,and one case of C6.All the perforator veins were located before the operation by color ultrasound.Results The number of perforator veins varied significantly (P <0.01) among the inner and back side of calfs (4.16 ± 1.86),the lateral calfs (1.29 ± 1.10),and thighs (0.16 ± 0.45).Twenty-four patients received high ligation of GSV combined with stripping of above-knees.Two patients received high ligation of GSV combined with the laser closing of above-knees.Five cases were treated conservatively (in which four have stripped or closed and one was on normal condition).Below-knee GSV were treated by sclerosing foam in 27 cases,and four cases were untreated (in which three have closed and one was normal).All the thirty-one cases underwent mini-incision for ligating the perforators and having the varicose veins closed using the sclerosing foam.All patients' GSV with sclerotherapy have got sclerosed.There were no complications of deep vein thrombosis,pulmonary embolism,or visual disturbance.Conclusion This operation design ensures the effect and prevents the recurrence of varicose vein,as well as reduces surgical trauma.
