Highlights
Varicose veins are dilated, tortuous, thin elongated vessels usually associated with valvular incompetence
The patients were allocated into two groups of 50 patients each who either went flush ligation of saphenofemoral junction with stripping of long saphenous varicose vein or Trendelenburg’s surgery, and were called by S and T group respectively
The study concludes that long saphenous varicosities are best treated by stripping in spite of the fact that the period of disability following surgery is significantly longer that after Saphenofemoral
Summary
The study comprised of 100 cases of long saphenous varicosities. Each patient was subjected to Doppler ultrasound to look for saphenofemoral incompetence and patency of deep veins. The patients were allocated into two groups of 50 patients each who either went flush ligation of saphenofemoral junction with stripping of long saphenous varicose vein or Trendelenburg’s surgery (flush ligation of saphenofemoral junction), and were called by S and T group respectively
