Objective:
To evaluate therapeutic effects of endovenous laser treatment (ELT) and subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) in the treatment of venous leg ulcer (VLU).
Methods:
ELT and SEPS were performed in 10 patients with VLU (involving 10 legs). Among them, external valvuloplasty was performed in 4 legs with deep venous valve insufficiency.
Results:
Ulcer of the 10 legs healed within 10-60 days after the operation, and follow-up study ranging from 2 to 8 months with the average of 6 months revealed no recurrences.
Conclusion:
ELT combined with SEPS provides an effective approach for VLU treatment with minimal invasion, and when combined with external valvuloplasty, this approach may effectively reduce ulcer recurrence.
