    Author: Gavrilenko AV, Vakhrat'ian PE.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 2005; (4):42-4. PubMed ID: 15940179.
    Abstract:
    Experience in the treatment of 386 patients with stage 2-3 of varicose disease is analyzed. There are five main variants of surgical treatment in these patients: combined phlebectomy, sclero-obliteration of the trunk, short stripping with ligation of insufficient perforant veins, short stripping with excision or destruction of varicose branches, short stripping and sclero-obliteration of the trunk. It is demonstrated that minimally invasive surgical procedures decrease the number of postoperative subcutaneous haematomas, ensure good cosmetic effect, allow to avoid an injury of n.saphenus and lymphorrhea. It is concluded that minimally invasive surgical procedures may be used for treatment of initial forms of varicose disease.
