Abstract:
Objective To compare the effectiveness and the influence on life quality of endovenous laser obliteration with those of traditional surgical ligation in treating varicosis of lower extremity.Methods By using numerical random grouping method,40 patients with varicosis of lower extremity were divided into traditional surgical ligation group (high ligation plus stripping,traditional group,n=20) and endovenous laser obliteration group (laser group,n=20).The curative effect and complications were compared between the two groups.According to the brief health survey (SF-36) scale,the influences of the two treatments on the life quality were evaluated.Results During the follow-up period,the differences in the curative effect and complications between two groups were not significant (P＞0.05).The life quality assessed by SF-36 scores in the laser group was better than that in the traditional group,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion For the treatment of varicosis of lower extremity,endovenous laser obliteration is safe and effective,it carries less influence on the patient's life quality when compared with traditional surgical ligation therapy.
