A new technique of endoluminal diathermy of the long saphenous vein using a bipolar electrode is described. This is safer than conventional unipolar diathermy and histological examination of the diathermied veins shows similar appearances using unipolar and bipolar diathermy. Clinical assessment of both techniques yields similar results. Endoluminal bipolar diathermy is simple and relatively painless compared with conventional stripping of the long saphenous vein and can be recommended.
描述了一种使用双极电极对大隐静脉进行腔内透热疗法的新技术。这比传统的单极透热疗法更安全，对接受透热疗法的静脉进行组织学检查显示，单极和双极透热疗法的外观相似。两种技术的临床评估结果相似。与传统的大隐静脉剥脱术相比，腔内双极透热疗法操作简单且相对无痛，值得推荐。
