[The value of ossovenography in advanced female genital carcinoma. A contribution to diagnosis of combined obstructive edema (author's transl)].
The pertrochanteric ossovenography brought important results on the etiology of combined obstructive edema of the lower limb after genital carcinoma. Its advantage in comparison with other methods of phlebography is the lack of embolic danger for the patient, its suitability even in thrombosis of the V. femoralis and the optimal contrast staining of venous system and anastomoses. The combined obstructive edema is characterized by a block of pelvic veins and a complete or incomplete block of lymph vessels. The combined obstructive edema depends only on the venous block as is demonstrated. A report on therapy and prognosis of 30 cases is given.
