Combined use of oral and topical forms of phlebotonics after endovasal laser coagulation

Abstract

Introduction. The combination of endovasal laser coagulation and miniphlebectomy is actively used in the treatment of Chronic venous diseases, however, the question of improving the management of such patients in the postoperative period remains actual.Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the combined use of oral and topical forms of phlebotonics after endovasal laser coagulation.Materials and methods. The study was conducted in 60 patients after surgery divided into 2 comparable (n = 30). The group 1 was treated with MPFF 1000 mg (Detralex) once a day during the perioperative period (10 days before surgery and up to 2 months after) and additionally topical Detragel daily 3 times a day for 10 days after the intervention. The group 2 used heparin topical form for 10 days after surgery. Control was carried out on the 1st day, 10th day after surgery, as well as after 3 and 6 months.Results. In group 1, there was a statistically more significant decrease in the level of pain on days 1 and 10 after surgery (p ≤ 0.05), while the frequency of hyperpigmentation at months 3 and 6 after surgery was also less presented.Conclusions. The combination of endovasal laser coagulation and miniphlebectomy while taking MPFF and a gel based on heparin, escin and essential phospholipids is accompanied by less severe pain and the level of hyperpigmentation in the postoperative period.
