Insights
This study analyzes 800 lower limb varicose vein operations, focusing on diagnostic and curative methods for essential varices and their relapses. It investigates the causes of recurrent varicose veins through phlebographic research and surgical findings.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Phlebology
Background:
- Varicose veins are a common condition with various treatment approaches.
- Recurrence of varicose veins after treatment presents significant challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To contribute personal experience to the controversial aspects of essential varicose vein diagnosis and treatment.
- To investigate the anatomical and clinical findings and pathogenesis of recurrent varicose veins.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of approximately 800 lower limb varicose vein operations over 3.5 years.
- Phlebographic research in patients with recurrent varicose veins.
- Intraoperative verification of phlebographic findings.
Main Results:
- Experience gained from a substantial number of varicose vein surgeries.
- Insights into the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for essential varices.
- Understanding of the factors contributing to varicose vein relapses.
Conclusions:
- Personal contribution to understanding controversial issues in varicose vein management.

Abstract:
On the ground of the experience matured in about 800 operations for varicose veins of the lower limb carried out in a period of time of 3 years and a half in the surgical department of the Valduce Hospital of Como, the authors want to bring a personal contribution on the study of some problems, still enough controversial, on the many diagnostic and curative modalities of the essential varices and their relapses. Taking this treatment as starting point, an important speech is open on the anatomic and clinic findings and pathogenesis of the varicose relapses by the light of the phlebographic researches carried out in patients affected of recidivous varices and verified, later on, at the operative table.
