Treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities
27 apr 2015
During the existence of science, phlebology, the principles of treatment and diagnosis of varicose veins have undergone a number of cardinal changes. This is primarily due to a more detailed study of the pathophysiology of varicose veins, as well as the rapid improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. Only after a detailed examination and ultrasound duplex scanning can a vascular surgeon make an optimal plan for your treatment.
In the first stages of varicose veins, with its minimal manifestations, it is possible to do with venotonic drugs, as well as correctly selected compression knitwear, and this will be enough to eliminate all the symptoms of varicose veins.
With the appearance of telangiectasias (starlet asterisks) and / or separately altered varicose veins, it is already necessary to apply more aggressive treatment methods, namely sclerotherapy (echo sclerotherapy, foam sclerotherapy, etc.), the use of a point laser or microthermocoagulation.
In the later stages of varicose veins, when large venous valves are already insolvent, surgery is necessary. Today, there are two types of it, this is an “open” phlebectomy - an operation that is performed by spinal anesthesia, in which a varicose vein is removed from separate sections. And the second type, this is endovenous (intravenous) manipulation (EVLА or RFA), in which under the tumecent (local) anesthesia, a special fiber optic is used to “solder” the varicose vein from the inside, this manipulation is performed without cuts and without seams.
