title: [Laser sclerosing of intracutaneous varicose veins].
abstract: 87 patients with intracutaneous varicosities underwent a percutaneous Neodym-YAG-laser therapy. The results of 72 of them were satisfactory. Only in 2 cases complications (Hyperpigmentation, scarification) were found. The laser seems to be an additional tool in the therapy of varicosities, so small calibrated, that intravasal drug application seems to be impossible.
