[Technology for sclerosurgical treatment of upper veno-venous reflux of the large subcutaneous vein in varicose vein patients].

Under analysis were results of a complex ultrasound examination and the following treatment of 101 patients with varicose disease which had developed due to a high veno-venous ejection. The decision on the method of treatment depended on the variant of reflux spread and the degree of dilatation of the large subcutaneous vein. Four variants of spreading the reflux were established: in the inguinal area only (3.8%), along the femur to the level of the knee articulation (13.6%), femur and the upper third of the shin (66.8%), from the groin to the malleolus (15.8%). Selective interventions consisting in scleroobliteration or removal of the large subcutaneous vein within the limits of the femur or upper third of the shin were fulfilled in 84.2% of the patients. Sclerotherapy was used in veins having the diameter from 5 to 7 mm, sclerosurgery--with the diameter from 8 to 10 mm, surgical treatment in veins with the diameter more than 10 mm. The effectiveness of liquidation of the reflux was 95.2%.
