title: [Phlebography of the legs].
abstract: On the basis of more than 10,000 phlebographies we believe that the ascending phlebography with control by means of x-rays and accurate photographs, the so-called "phleboscopy", is the most appropriate of all techniques of phlebography for a routine ambulant examination of the veins. By means of phlebography we succeed in employing our therapeutical measures accurately, control of therapeutic results is possible. The phlebography informs about the morphological condition of the veinous system and the defluxion conditions. It serves for determining pathological conditions, such as the post-thrombotical syndrom in the case of acute deep thrombosis of the crural veins, and informs about the extent and defluxion conditions of the varicose veins as well as the sufficiency or insufficiency of the Vv. perforantes.
