[Varicose veins: sclerosing therapy (author's transl)].
Every varicosis can be treated without operation if injection therapy is correctly carried out. The patient stands upright, a thick needle (1.2 mm) is inserted into the varix. The venous blood flows out, the patient lies down. Injection is made with the leg in a high position (30 degrees), compression follows each sclerosing injection. Intraarterial injections can be avoided by using a thick needle. Retained intravaricose blood should be incised to avoid pigmentation. Rapid treatment is possible with 3-5 days. As with our ordinary treatment, we give 5-10 injections daily with Varigloban 2-8%.
