[Tissue pressure in patients with phlebogenic edema].

This paper describes the results of tissue pressure measurement according to the Emmet technique in the subcutaneous fat at phlebogenic edema in 31 patients with lower extremity varicosity. The changes in the pressure were recorded over a length of 5-10 after needle impaction. The rate of tissue fluid resorption was measured.

[Formation of subfascial lymphovenous anastomoses on the foot].

The author suggests a new modification of operation for formation of subfascial lymphovenous anastomoses (LVA) on the dorsum of the foot in treatment of edema of the lower limbs. Sixty-two patients underwent operation. In 34 patients of the control group an epifascial LVA was formed on the dorsal surface of the foot.

[The transfascial excision of indurated subcutaneous fat in the postthrombophlebitic syndrome].

The authors came to the conclusion that in surgical treatment of the postthrombophlebitic syndrome it is necessary in some cases to excise the indurated fatty tissue on the leg during the operation on the veins. It should be carried out transfascially through a Felder incision in combination with ligatin of the perforating veins on the leg. The suggested method produces better results than those of excision of the changed fatty tissue through a cut made in the skin overlying it.
