title: Treatment of varicose veins of the lower limbs with ostial incapacity (standard surgico-medical technique).
abstract: The following technique is normally used in our Phlebology Centre for varicose veins with ostial incapacity of the internal saphenous vein: A first stage, consisting of an enlarged crossectomy of the internal saphenous vein, combined with a stripping operation, more often long than short. In a second stage it is essential to follow the course of the varicose condition, which is undertaken by the medical team, using a postoperative sclerosing technique. The advantage of this combined technique is that it produces stable results with a minimum number of incisions, so that the results in the great majority of cases, are very satisfactory from the aesthetic point of view.
