title: [Treatment of varicose external saphenous vein by ambulatory phlebectomy].
abstract: In 1972, the French Society of Phlebology undertook a study of the treatment of the varicose S.S. vein which revealed an avalanche of problems concerning both surgery and sclerosing injections. Since 1960, there have been such advances in out-patient phlebectomy that it enables combination of the efficacy of surgery with the benign nature of sclerosing injections. It has proved possible to avoid the only true risk of out-patient phlebectomy (damage to the lateral saphenous nerve) by proscribing the use of a hook on the main S.S. and accessing it via a collateral.
