[Crenotherapy and surgery in venous diseases].
In spite of the fact that they appear to have nothing in common, treatment by water from mineral springs and surgery may sometimes be used in combination against certain venous diseases. The spa phlebologist may suggest the indication for operation, c.q. prepare his patients for it by means of special cures. Also, spa treatments may help consolidate the early results of surgery, or combát possible complications (e.g. post-phlebitic complications); in such cases, the spa treatment should be instituted as early as possible.
