Abstract. Background: The invasive management of varicose veins has a known risk of post-operative deep venous thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolism. The aim of this study was to evaluate absolute and relative risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following commonly used varicose vein procedures. Patients and methods: A retrospective analysis of secondary data using Hospital Episode Statistics database was performed for all varicose vein procedures performed between 2003 and 2013 and all readmissions for VTE in the same patients within 30 days, 90 days, and one year. Comparison of the incidence of VTEs between procedures was performed using a Pearson’s Chi-squared test. Results: In total, 261,169 varicose vein procedures were performed during the period studied. There were 686 VTEs recorded at 30 days (0.26 % incidence), 884 at 90 days (0.34 % incidence), and 1,246 at one year (0.48 % incidence). The VTE incidence for different procedures was between 0.15–0.35 % at 30 days, 0.26–0.50 % at 90 days, and 0.46–0.58 % at one year. At 30 days there was a significantly lower incidence of VTEs for foam sclerotherapy compared to other procedures (p = 0.01). There was no difference in VTE incidence between procedures at 90 days (p = 0.13) or one year (p = 0.16). Conclusions: Patients undergoing varicose vein procedures have a small but appreciable increased risk of VTE compared to the general population, with the effect persisting at one year. Foam sclerotherapy had a lower incidence of VTE compared to other procedures at 30 days, but this effect did not persist at 90 days or at one year. There was no other significant difference in the incidence of VTE between open, endovenous, and foam sclerotherapy treatments.

SummaryGraduated compression stockings are used in both surgical and non-surgical treatment of varicose veins. In a trial of high versus low compression stockings (40mmHg vs 15mmHg at ankle) after varicose vein surgery, both were equally effective in controlling bruising and thrombophlebitis, but low compression stockings proved to be more comfortable.In a further trial after sclerotherapy, high compression stockings alone produced comparable results to Elastocrepe® bandages with stockings. It is concluded that after varicose vein surgery low compression stockings provide adequate support for the leg and that after sclerotherapy, bandaging is not required if a high compression stocking is used.

Introduction: Lower extremity varicose vein disease is one of the common problems in vascular surgery. Clinically, this disease is accompanied by a wide range of complaints and external symptoms, which eventually lead to a worse patients’ quality of life. The integrated approach is being applied to the disease treatment, which involves the use of various phlebotropic drugs as conservative therapy along with minimally invasive surgical correction and sclerotherapy.Objective: to improve the quality of phlebotropic therapy for patients with lower extremity varicose vein disease, based on the study of factors that shape the patient’s compliance with the effective treatment of clinical symptoms. The term «compliance» means the precise and informed implementation of the doctor’s recommendations during the treatment by the patient. Most often, «compliance» is assessed by the drug use index, which is the quotient of dividing the number of days on which the full dose of the drug was taken by the duration of the entire study period. Materials and methods: The analysis of 368 + 111 patients with lower extremity varicose vein disease was carried out. Of these, 111 patients turned out to be beyond the correct study of compliance (a phlebectomy was performed in a hospital). 368 patients were divided into the following groups: Group 1: the patients, who were assigned modern surgical treatment of varicose veins (endovenous laser coagulation, scleroobliteration); Group 2: the patients, who withdrew from assigned interventions. As it turned out, the different groups of patients differed in compliance.Results. The patients who were shown and performed surgical treatment – 320 (86.9%), can be considered highly compliant with the prescribed conservative therapy – the average value of the compliance index is 0.83, compared to the representatives who refused to perform the recommended surgical procedures recommended by them – 48 (13.1%), the compliance index is 0.78.In the course of the investigation, the factors shaping compliance with phlebotropic drugs were identified, a comparative assessment was carried out on the main indicators of the effectiveness of phlebotropic drugs.Conclusion. Thus, the compliance of the patients suffering from LEVVV during the treatment with phlebotropic drugs varies depending on the multiplicity and convenience of the form of the drug, on the effectiveness of the proposed phlebotropic therapy according to the influence on the complaints and symptoms, on the psychological readiness of the patient to entrust the result of the final treatment of the disease to the surgeon.

Background: The cosmetic treatment of varicose veins is the main activity of most vascular surgeons in Brazil. In order to obtain satisfactory cosmetic results, careful planning of varicose vein operations is necessary. Objective: Marking (or "mapping") the varicose veins with indelible ink is an essential step in planning cosmetic surgeries for lower limb varicose veins. In the present study, the role of transcutaneous phleboscopy (TcPh) in planning varicose vein operations is evaluated. Methods: A series of 100 consecutive patients, all female, were evaluated with TcPH as part of their varicose vein operations planning. A total of 171 limbs with varicose veins (71 bilateral and 29 unilateral) were evaluated. The process of marking the varicose veins followed the same protocol in all cases. Firstly, the varicose veins were marked by inspection and palpation, with the patient standing, using an indelible black ink pen. Secondly, with the patients resting in supine and prone positions, the varicose veins detected with TcPh were marked again with red or blue ink. The marks made by the two methods were then compared. Results: In 41 patients, for a total of 80 limbs (46.8%), the marks were altered after use of TcPh. Reasons for such changes were: 1) identification of other varicose veins; 2) identification of reticular veins draining complex telangiectasias; and 3) changes in the position of the marks placed with the patient standing. Conclusions: TcPh has altered the planning of varicose vein surgeries in 46.8% of all limbs evaluated, especially when the patients had complex telangiectasias, associated with reticular varicose veins.

Nowadays endovenous laser coagulation is the priority method of treatment of lower limb varicose vein disease. However, there are a number of specific complications that reduce efficiency of its usage.The objective of the research was to decrease specific postoperative complications after endovenous laser coagulation due to the introduction of its mathematical design.Materials and methods. The study included 168 patients with lower limb varicose vein disease. Prior to surgery the mathematical calculation of the basic parameters of laser coagulation such as density of laser irradiation and rate of reverse movement of the light pipe depending on the diameter of varicose veins was made. The control group consisted of 146 patients with varicose vein disease; the aforementioned parameters were established according to the instruction of using a laser device.Results.  The analysis of complications such as induration of skin over coagulase great or small saphenous vein, phlebitis in the projection of the great or small saphenous vein, ecchymosis or dermatomelasma in the early postoperative period, pain syndrome showed the reduction in the number of complications while applying the mathematical model of calculation of linear density of laser radiation and the speed of reverse traction of the light pipe with its transfer to the graphic image.Conclusions.  The application of the mathematical model of calculation of linear density of laser radiation and the speed of reverse traction of the light pipe with its transfer to the graphic image allows us to improve the results of endovenous laser coagulation for varicose veins due to the reduction in specific complications.

Abstract BackgroundFew reports have been conducted to comparing surgical results and safety evaluations between the different types of infections in geriatric patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of surgical treatment for thoracolumbar infections in elderly patients.Methods21 patients with pyogenic spondylodiscitis (PS) and 26 patients with tuberculous spondylodiscitis (TS) were enrolled in the study. All patients were treated using one-stage posterior debridement, decompression, and pedicle screw fixation. Comparison of operative safety parameters between the two groups. Clinical efficacy was evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS) score, the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade, the short form (SF)-36 survey and Oswestry disability index (ODI) to determine patient quality of life pre- and post-operatively. Results Hospitalisation and intensive care unit duration in the PS group were significantly shorter than in the TS group (P<0.05). The total incidence of post-operative complications for both groups was 44.7%. More complications occurred in the TS group, but the difference was not significant. The VAS and SF-36 scores (physical component) were significantly better in the PS group six months post-operatively, and the SF-36 (mental component) scores were significantly better in the PS group at the one-year follow-up. Neurological status in both groups improved post-operatively, and 83% of the patients were satisfied with the results of their operation. Imaging results showed that bone graft fusion improved in both groups at six months, one year and at the final follow-up. ConclusionSurgical treatment can provide satisfactory clinical and imaging results for thoracolumbar infection in patients over 65 years old. Although the incidence of peri-operative complications in the elderly is high, it is controllable and surgical treatment remains a safe and effective measure.

The lower limbs’ venous system has the pressure of posture, and blood has to be pushed against gravity into the heart cavity. This issue is generally approached either by a cautious approach or by surgical interference, all of which are constrained. Attempts to study different clinical manifestations of varicose veins are being made in the present study. The overall number of 50 varicose vein patients was analysed and the study results were reported. Varicosity veins of the lower limb is a fairly normal pathological entity. In the 20-50 age range, the condition is more common. The main modality of the procedure is surgery. The most common technique performed is Saphenofemoral flush ligation with stripping.
