СОВРЕМЕННАЯ ТАКТИКА ХИРУРГИЧЕСКОГО ЛЕЧЕНИЯ БОЛЬНЫХ С ВАРИКОЗНОЙ БОЛЕЗНЬЮ НИЖНИХ КОНЕЧНОСТЕЙ

Abstract

Varicose veins are a very popular disease. It is observed in 10–15% of men and 20–35% of women and is often accompanied by long-term incapacity and subsequent disability of the patient. That’s why it’s not surprising that endovenosus laser ablation therapy (EVLT) is replacing surgery as the main treatment for varicose veins. Currently, laser radiation with wavelengths in the λ range from 0.45 to 2 is used for EVLT. A positive treatment result was achieved at all wavelengths that were used. The resulting differences in clinical applications in terms of pain levels, complications, and postoperative healing were rates largely subjective, leading to controversy regarding the choice of the most effective method. This was facilitated by the evolution of interpretations of the processes occurring during EVLT, which, from the authors’ point of view, is useful for their understanding. Endovasal methods have been proven to be cost-effective and safe and can be performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. To date, this technique has become quite widespread in vascular surgery. This paper provides a review of the literature on the prevalence and pathophysiology of varicose veins of the lower extremities, the achievements of endovasal methods of treating varicose veins of the lower extremities, and studied modern methods of surgical correction of varicose veins. We analyzed and described the main issues related to endovenous techniques for obliterating varicose veins. Conducted on 20 case histories of patients with venous insufficiency of the lower extremities, operated on at the CHU “KB “RZD-Medicine” named after. N.A. Semashko” comparative analysis of modern surgical methods for the treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities. The operation was performed on one lower limb in 18 patients, and on two lower limbs in 2 people. All patients underwent endovasal laser coagulation (EVLC) in combination with miniphlebectomy. The disadvantages and advantages of the modern surgical method of treating venous insufficiency of the lower extremities (EVL) have been identified.
