[Sclerotherapy of the internal saphenous vein in the standing and sitting position. A comparative study].
A study was undertaken to compare two methods of sclerosing injection of the sapheno-femoral junction (SFJ). The study involved a sample of 2186 patients. In the first method, with the patient in sitting position, injections were administered below the junction with digital compression applied directly to the SFJ. In the second method, with the patient in standing position, injections were administered below the junction with digital compression applied directly to the junction as well as below the injection site. Results showed that sequestration of the proximal saphenous segment with the patient in standing position is a valid technique for the treatment by sclerosing injections of incompetence of the long saphenous.
