    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To summarize the experience with endovenous laser treatment(EVLT) combined with high ligation and Muller's phlebectomy for primary superficial varicose in the lower limbs. METHODS: In 95 patients with C3-6 grade primary superficial varicose in 146 lower limbs, the extent of varicose was accurately marked, the guiding wires were manipulated precisely, and the proximal great saphenous veins (GSV) were ligated after exsanguinations. The stems of the GSV were ablated with laser with the lower limbs lift up and pressed hard along the stems, and Muller's incisions were carefully planned. RESULTS: All the operations were completed successfully. The guiding wires entered into the deep veins through the communicating branches in 2 limbs, 1 patient experienced capillary hemorrhage from Muller's incisions, 8 had thrombotic phlebitis of the GSV, 7 sustained heat-related injury of the saphenous nerves, 1 experienced skin heat-related lesion, 2 developed hematoma in the inguinal region, 2 had pitting edema in the dorsum of the foot, 1 had fat liquefaction of the Muller incision, and 1 showed rejection of the thrum. After conservative treatment, all the patients recovered and were discharged. Part of the superficial varicose remained after the operation in 6 limbs. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to standardize the routine procedure of EVLT combined with high ligation and Muller's phlebectomy to reduce the complications.
