NEW TRENDS IN SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFICIENCY OF LOWER LIMBS
Abstract
Background. Chronic venous insufficiency is the disease of modern world. Indications for surgical treatment of varicose veins are reviewed. Elucidated are methods of extirpation of varicose veins, safenofemoral and safenopopliteal ligature.
Conclusions. Short striping by invagination is recommended. Subfascial perforant vein surgery is described. Methods of conservative and operative treatment of deep venous insufficiency are reviewed.
