Surgical crossectomy and saphenic trunk sclerotherapy. Preliminary results of a combined approach to the treatment of saphenous vein varices.

Aim: Here our proposal of a new approach to the incontinent saphenous-femoral junction (SFJ) based on the combination of surgery and sclerotherapy for treatment of incontinent varices. It is a two-step procedure with a surgical ligation and transection of SFJ followed by a sclerosis of saphenous trunk and extra-fascial tributaries.

Materials And Methods: From January to December 2017, 95 patients (63 females and 32 males) with a mean age of 56.

Role of the haemodynamic mapping in varicose vein surgery of lower limbs.

Aim: To demonstrate the importance of preoperative ultrasound haemodynamic mapping of venous system in surgery of varicose veins.

Materials And Methods: Doppler ultrasound evaluation of haemodynamic features of lower limb venous system according to Franceschi's subdivision.

Discussion: The importance of Doppler mapping in varicose veins surgery shows a similarity with the Plebographic classification of venous system developed by W.
