title: [Felder's intervention in the posphlebitic syndrome of the lower limbs].
abstract: Postphlebitic syndrome of the lower limbs is a consequence of chronic varices or the outcome of TVP leading to edema, eczema, stasis ulcers, etc. In these cases surgical treatment takes the form of ligating the perforating varices using a subfascial route according to Linton's technique, together with stripping the great and small saphenous vein. There are cases, however, in which the extent of cutaneous involvement does not allow a "safety incision" to be made. Felder's operation, using posterior surgical aggression in that area of the skin which generally remains healthy, therefore allows an easier ligation of the perforating varices and quicker cutaneous healing.
