[Saphenous vein stripping in an outpatient service. 800 cases].
During the period from January to June 1991, 800 patients with varicose veins of the legs underwent, without hospitalisation, stripping of the saphenous vein, multiple phlebectomies by micro-incisions using the Muller technique and elastic compression. Careful patient selection, thorough pre-operative evaluation and perfect surgical technique made it possible to perform the procedure on an out-patient basis and in addition to obtain a good functional result and a very good esthetic result.
