title: [Correction of insufficiency of communicating veins in varicose veins of the lower extremities].
abstract: To simplify the techniques of the operation and attain a good cosmetic effect the authors suggest a new scalpel for excising the communicating veins. The method of the operation with the use of the scalpel and its results in 256 patients are described. Comparative analysis by means of modern complex diagnostic methods gives hope. The disease recurred in 3.6% of cases. The good cosmetic effect with simultaneous shortening of the hospitalization period allows the new method of epifascial communi- cant vein surgery to be recommended for application in practice.
