[Surgical treatment of telangiectasis]. / Tratamento cirúrgico das telangiectasias.

The surgical treatment of telangiectasis synchronous to sclerotherapy is presented in this paper. Two female patients with extensive telangiectasis of the lower limbs comprise our report. They were considered typical cases for application of the proposed technique: abolishing venous reflux. The adjacent veins were resected through skin incisions of about 2 mm with crochet hooks, under local anesthesia, immobilized with adhesive tape. Sclerotherapy was performed simultaneously. The cosmetic result was excellent in both cases, with complete removal of the telangiectasis. This procedure should be considered the method of choice in the treatment of telangiectasis resulting from obvious venous reflux.
