Objective:
To evaluate the curative effect of the combination of endovenous laser treatment of varicose saphenous vein (ELVS) and classic ligation and stripping treatment.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 21 patients with varicose saphenous vein (VS) who were treated with ELVS alone or combined with ligation and stripping in our hospital.
Results:
All the patients got good therapy result. The early symptom relief rate was 82.4%, while the late symptom relief rate was 100%. No infections, haematoma of wound, and any other major complications were reported. The common complications included pain induced by remains of the thrombosis phlebitis (n = 2, 11.7%), minor skin burn (n = 1, 5.9%), residue vein varicose (n = 1, 5.9%), numbness of the calf (n = 1, 5.9%), and mild peri-phlebitis (n = 1, 5.9%). All the complications were resolved after proper management. The 1-year follow-up showed no recurrence.
Conclusion:
The combination of ELVS and classic ligation and stripping is safe and effective in the treatment of varicose saphenous.
