The study addresses the issue of great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence, a leading cause of chronic venous disease, and tests the effectiveness of compression dressing durations post-varicose vein surgery.
Two groups were formed: Group-A wore compression dressings for 2 days, while Group-B wore them for 7 days, with a primary focus on assessing postoperative pain.
Results showed that Group-A had a higher mean pain score (4.5) compared to Group-B (2.9), indicating that a longer duration of compression dressing may lead to less postoperative pain.
