The effects on lower extremity varicose vein surgery in patients with superficial and deep venous insufficiency on varicose vein surgery deep venous system insufficiency

SUMMARYObjective: Deep venous insufficiency (DVI) is a serious health problem seenvery frequently and has a negative impact on patients?s quality of life. Can the surgicaltreatment of DVI be done with a more low morbidity and safety. The aim of this study,instead of making any intervention done for deep venous system, examine whetherintervention done for superficial venous system with more low risk and safety provideany recovery or not.Methods: Between the dates December 2007 and October 2011 at the TurgutÖzal Medical Center. Fifty six lower limbs belong to 32 patients were appliedsuperficial varicose vein surgery. At the 31 lower limbs were seen reduction in the DVI(Group 1) at the result of done control dopplers and in the other 25 lower limbs weren?tseen any reduction (Group 2). Patients records were examined as retrospective, the dataof both groups were compared.Results: In the group 1, the rate of patients corresponded to the %55,4. Thefemale patients which have been operated %42,8 and with sex and reduction ratio ofdeep venous system insufficiency in there weren?t any relationship (p=0,14). Thepatients in the group 1 and 2; like cigarette smoking (p=0,650), hypertension (0,493),comorbidities (p=0,367), family history (p=0,08), obesity (p=0,932), were a likeassociated with clinical conditions and weren?t determined any statistical for thisfeatures. Because there were very few the number of patients with diabetes mellitus(DM), any comparison couldn?t be done in the terms of DM.Conclusion: Saphenous vein stripping and varicose vein excision of thecombined method there are a high recovery impact of the deep venous systeminsufficiency, in order to make definitive evidence on the subject. We need more widerangingprospective randomized controlled trials.Key words: Deep venous insufficiency, Saphenous vein stripping, Varicosevein excision
