title: [Experience with sclerosis of the perforating veins].
abstract: The problem of sclerosis of the perforating veins, a subject of heated debate, seems now unanimously accepted. Indeed, their suppression is considered as important as sclerosis of the arches in preventing early and complete relapses. Their investigation can be clinical (examination of staged tourniquet), phlebographic or instrumental (thermography or Doppler). Their treatment can be either surgical (excellent in long reflux, perforating veins that are large in size and few in number) or medical (sclerotherapy). The latter present many variations with either direct injections in the perforating veins, telesclerosis above or below the perforating veins, telesclerosis on open veins after thrombectomy or extirpation with a Bassi hook. But whatever the technique used we cannot neglect the suppresion of short reflux which is a condition of the quality and duration of the results obtained.
