Background and Objectives: To assess the safety and effectiveness of traditional surgery with conservative interventions in the treatment of varicose veins. Methods a consecutive series of 31 patients (35 limbs) who came to surgical opd with a provisional diagnosis of primary varicose veins was taken up for traditional surgery (long saphenous vein stripping with or without,short saphenous vein ...

The role of operative management of "symptomatic" varicose veins in patients with lower extremity lymphedema or lipedema is controversial. We reviewed the clinical outcome of 261 patients between 1989-1997 at the Földiclinic with lower extremity lymphedema (68 patients), lipo-lymphedema or lympho-lipedema (103 patients) or lipedema (90 patients) who had undergone operation for varicose veins. I...

Suprapubic varicose veins are usually indicative of unilateral iliac vein occlusion and venous collateralisation. We report two cases of suprapubic varicose veins following pelvic vein embolisation and subsequent pregnancy; both presented without residual pelvic venous reflux or pelvic venous obstruction. In both cases, there was no significant flow in the suprapubic veins indicating that they ...

The prevalence and correlates of varicose veins were investigated in a community survey in a neighbourhood of western Jerusalem in 1969-71. The prevalence was 10% among men and 29% among women aged 15 and over; it rose with age in each sex. In both sexes, significant associations were found with standing at work and with region of birth. Among women, varicose veins were associated with weight, ...

BACKGROUND. Sclerotherapy is the targeted elimination of intracutaneous, subcutaneous, and/or transfascial varicose veins (perforating veins) as well as the sclerosation of subfascial varicose vessels in the case of venous malformation by the injection of a sclerosant. With duplex-guide sclerotherapy and foam sclerotherapy, modified methods came into use. OBJECTIVE. The objective was to create ...

Results: This study reveals that the disease is more prevalent during the active adult life in their 3rd and 4th decades and males were more affected. The occupations needing prolonged standing and use of violent muscular efforts is found to be a contributing or precipitating factor for varicose veins. Hereditary factors may play an important role in the development of varicose veins. 25% of pa...

Injection treatment for varicose veins by means of various sclerosing solutions, quinine urethane, sodium salicylate, sodium morrhuate, etc., is now established therapeutically, and the same solutions may be used to set up a chemical or aseptic inflammation resulting in thrombosis and sclerosis in veins and other structures elsewhere. The main drawback to the use of these solutions in vascular ...

OBJECTIVE Vulvar varicosity is a relatively common venous disorder in women with varicose veins of the pelvis and lower extremities and in pregnant women, but there is little information in the medical literature concerning its diagnosis and management. The aim of this study was to describe our experience with 101 women with vulvar varicosities who were examined and treated at our center during...

The study aimed at detecting apoptotic endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) together with determining expression of NF-kappaB (p105/p50) and Bax in varicose vein walls. Women (n = 35) undergoing the excision of varicose veins were divided into 3 groups: younger than 35 years (I), 36-50 years (II), and older than 50 years (III). Apoptosis was determined by the TUNEL method, NF-...

Introduction: Subfascial Endoscopic Perforator Surgery (SEPS) is a minimally invasive technique to treat incompetent perforating veins. Incompetent perforators are implicated in venous ulcer and in varicose veins recurrence. Complete closure of all perforating veins is the only predictor of ulcer healing. Analysis of our results is the objective of this study. Methods: Fifty (50) patients with ...
