[Experience with the surgical treatment of superficial thrombophlebitis (varicophlebitis)].
107 patients with acute varicophlebitis of the lower limbs have been treated. In 101 cases operation were performed. These patients were treated by surgical excision of the thrombosed segments, with excision or stripping of the remaining varicosities and high saphena ligature. There were no postoperative deaths. One male patient experienced nonfatal minor pulmonary embolism. Wound-healing disturbances were observed in only 11 patients. Attention is drawn to the advantage of the surgical management. Regarding the good experiences, the authors recommend the performance of the "acute" varicectomy.
