Effectiveness of endovenous laser coagulation in the treatment of varicose veins
Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of endovenous laser coagulation (EVLC) in the treatment of varicose veins.
Material and methods. A prospectus study of the results of using EVLC as the main method of treating VB NC in 107 patients 23 (21.5% men and 84 (78.5%) women aged 18-65 years was conducted. All observations showed varicose veins of the trunk of the great saphenous vein and its tributaries in the lower leg and thigh.
Results. Venous thromboembolic complications after EVLC were not observed in any cases. Suppuration of the postoperative wound after crossectomy was observed only in 2 patients. The average score of pain syndrome on the first day after EVLC was 4.2±0.9, on the seventh day – 1.9±0.5 points (P0, 001). The average duration of taking painkillers was 3.5±0.7 days. 77.6% of patients had ecchymosis, and 4.7% had transient paresthesia due to thermal damage to the skin nerve. The average duration of hospitalization was 3.7±0.5 days.
Conclusions. Endovenous laser coagulation is a highly effective minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. A lower frequency of complications after EVLC is observed when using radial emission light guides.
