[Surgical correction of vertical reflux of blood in musculo-venous pump of the lower limbs and pelvis in patients with varicose veins].

The authors have made an analysis of results of treatment of 469 patients with the varicose disease. During operations on them surgical correction of vertical reflux of blood was performed by means of extravasal correction of incompetent valves of the femoral, popliteal and tibial veins, resection or obturation of the posterior tibial veins. Traditional methods (frame spiral and fascioplication) and original ones (three ligatures and tension of the valve cusps through the frame spiral coil) were used. Elimination of the vertical reflux of blood in each of the four pumps (abdomino-caval and femoral ones, those of the leg and foot) forming the musculo-venous pump, results in getting 7% greater amount of excellent and good results, bad results were obtained in 3.4% less number of cases. The period of temporary loss of working ability becomes shorter.
