Feasibility analysis of preserving great saphenous vein lap trunk line in varicosity operation

Abstract

Objective To explore the feasibility of reserveing great saphenous varicose veins lap in varicosity operation. Methods Sixty cases with great saphenous vein varices from August 2013 to October 2014 were enrolled and evenly divided into two groups. Thirty cases of different clinical stages in trial group underwent surgical high stripping and ligation with preserving great saphenous varicose veins line. The control group were given routine traditional great saphenous vein high ligation+ stripping. The two groups were followed-up for prognosis and data analysis. Results The trial group had statistically significant differences in pain score, operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, and indexes of hematoma than the control group (t=3.268, 4.325, 5.670, 5.931, χ2=3.547, P<0.01), and deep vein thrombosis, phlebitis, recurrence rate, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-1 (IL-1) showed no significant differences. The trial group showed slower post-operative blood flow velocity (t=10.87, P<0.01), while its diameter, patency rate, valve function, and concurrent blood clots had no significant difference compared with preoperative ones. Conclusions Keeping great saphenous vein lap backbone shows no statistically significant differences in the incidence of postoperative complications. Because of retaining the great saphenous vein trunk, it provides the choice of diversity for the great saphenous varicose veins on preserving blood vessel bank.
