ABSTRACT
At present, the general surgery is facing various challenges. In order to meet the requirement of the 21 st century,some measuresshould be adopted to solve the problems listed as follows:The most important measure is to select a capable man to be the chief of the department and to make out a strategic scheme for future development. It also needs to know the ability level of the department in surgical science so that can carry forward the department's advantages and make up its disadvantages. The senior surgeons in the department should concentrate themselves along some special branch of general surgery while the young and the middle-aged surgeons build up their fundamental knowledge as well as the surgical technique in order to make a start for a mastering higher specialized skill. All members of the department should put in their effort together to develop new technique along the front line of the medical science to get close connection with the up-to-date international progress of surgery. The “young successor" out of competition should be supported and cultivated to be an excellent surgeon in the next century.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the value of color Doppler ultrasonography in assessing the severity of deep venous insufficiency of the lower extremities.Methods Forty-five patients (46 lower extremities) in patient group confirmed as venous insufficiency by descending phlebography and 20 volunteers (40 lower extremities) in control group were assessed by color Doppler ultrasonography. The results of 45 patients were compared with those of 20 volunteers.Results The diameters of superficial femoral vein measured by color Doppler ultrasonography were correlated with the severity of venous reflux showed in phlebography(r=(0.771),P(0.05)).Conclusions The reflux distance in superficial femoral vein is a useful parameter in assessing the degree of venous insufficiency.
