ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) has recently been introduced as a less invasive technique for treating an incompetent small saphenous vein and many good results have been reported. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of EVLT combined with high ligation in patients with an incompetent small saphenous vein. MATERIAL ANDMETHOD:
The study included 60 patients (66 limbs) who were treated with EVLT combined with high ligation of an incompetent small saphenous vein between January 2006 and May 2009. The preoperative clinical findings, the postoperative results and the postoperative ultrasonography follow up results at 1 and 3 months were reviewed.RESULT:
Postoperative complications were observed in 17 patients (15 limbs, 28.3%) and postoperative paresthesia occurred in 5 limbs (7.6%), but there was no deep vein thrombosis. Ultrasonography follow up at 3 month was performed in 93.9% of the limbs (62/66). The vein occlusion rate at 1 and 3 months were found to be 91.9% (57/62) and 90.3% (56/62), respectively.CONCLUSION:
We performed EVLT combined with high ligation and ambulatory phlebectomy in patients with an incompetent small saphenous vein, and this all revealed relatively satisfactory results with a low complication rate, but it showed a relatively low cure rate even though we also performed EVLT combined with high ligation altogether. We need to determine whether EVLT combined with a high ligation procedure will improve the venous occlusion rate. We also need to investigate how we can minimize the occurrence of nerve injury.
