Treatment of essential varicose veins of the lower limbs

Tratamiento de las varices esenciales de los miembros inferiores

Amorin Cal, Raul

Resumen:

1) Therapy of essential varicose veins should be aimed fundamentally at the "elimination of outward flow points" and secondarily, at the elimination of trunks.This means prior identification of all "outward flow" and their treatment in one single surgical operation.2) The technique which seems to offer best results is safenous stripping, elimination of collateral varicose veins and ligation of communicants in their place. The plans should proceed along rigurous tactics and techniques. Periodic post-operatory observation should be insisted upon. Surgery-sclerosis association is evaluated.3) "Nosologic" and "topographic" diagnosis of varicose veins is studied as a basis for deciding on the therapy to be applied. The paper contains a brief analysis of the hemodynamic effects of varicose veins.4) Anatomic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of the territories of the small and great safenous, communicants and extrapelvic branches of the internal iliac vein, are studied, and an analysis is made of the technical aspects of each case. A procedure for the extirpation of varicose collateral veins is described.5) The importance of the participation of communicating veins in the venous pathology of the lower limb is stressed,since insufficiency thereof may also be considered, or may seem, "essential", as is the case of the safenas.6) An analysis is made of residual, persistent or recurrent varicose veins, resulting from erroneous diagnosis ortreatment, or a combination of both.


1) La terapéutica de las vanees esenciales debe ser fundamentalmente de "eliminación de puntos de fuga" y secundariamente de eliminación de troncos. Ello supone el reconocimiento previo de "todos" los puntos de fuga y su tratamiento de una sola vez.2) Aparentemente el stripping de safenas, la eliminación de colaterales varicosas y la ligadura de las comunicantes ensu sitio, consigue los mejores resultados. El plan debe ceñirse a una táctica y técnica rigurosas. Se debe insistir en la observación periódica postoperatoria. Se valora la asociación cirugía-esclerosis.3) Se estudian el diagnóstico "nosológico" y el diagnóstico "topográfico" de las várices como base de la terapéutica. Se hace un somero análisis de los efectos hemodinámicos de las várices.4) Se estudian los aspectos anatómicos, clínicos y terapéuticos de los territorios safeno interno, safeno externo, comunicantes y de ramas extrapélvicas de la ilíaca interna, haciendo un análisis de los aspectos técnicos de cada caso. Se describe un procedimiento de arrancamiento de las colaterales varicosas.5) Se jerarquiza como unidad conceptual la participación de los comunicantes en la patología venosa del miembro inferior cuya insuficiencia puede ser también "esencial" como la de las safenas, o puede parecerlo.6) Se hace un análisis de las várices residuales, persistentes y recidivadas, estudiando sus causas por error en el diagnóstico, en el tratamiento, o errores asociados.
