  • Title: [Treatment of simple and complicated varices of the lower limbs. Surgical technics used in 600 cases].
    Author: Quiroli A.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1977 Nov 30; 32(22):1421-31. PubMed ID: 600431.
    Abstract:
    The methods of treatment used in the cure of simple and complicated lower extremity varices are described. These conditions are found in about 10% of the population throughout the civilised world and their social and economic repercussions are by no means negligible. The lines of surgical management dictated by the latest view of the pathogenesis and physio-pathology of these varices are explained. Treatment is by no means simples or of secondary importance with respect to the surgery of other vascular sectors. Emphasis is placed on the high percentage of recurrences. These are the result of mistakes in surgical technique or inadequate sclerosing management, as shown in the literature. Postoperative cure and the absence of local inflammation or infection come from the employment of non-reabsorbable, inert and very thin threads, rational in addition to the methodical use of widely diffusible antibiotics, fibrinolytics, and modern platelect anti-clumping agents.
