[Indications for surgical and sclerosing treatment of varices of the lower limbs]

Abstract

The authors consider the usefulness of sclerosing varicose veins in the lower limbs according to tournay's classic teaching, and in accordance with their basically surgical orientation, they try to classify a series of absolute indications for the surgical treatment, and a second series of analogous indications for the sclerosant treatment. Since the treatment of varicose veins does not come into effect all at once, the two methods - surgical and sclerosant - can be usefully combined.
