title: The conditions necessary to achieve an effective sclerosant treatment.
abstract: 1. Precise evaluation of the entire varicosity to be treated (knowledge of all possible variations--minute examination--accurate diagram of the individual case). 2. Objective of complete results. 3. Flawless technique; encouraged by the importance of the trunks compared to the branches; pointlessness of sclerosis without prior suppression of the main reflux passage; in practice only the trunks are sclerosed and branch sclerosis merely complements the treatment; always from largest to smallest. 4. Check-up after 6 months. And a control visit two years later. The thrombosis following the injections does not always develop towards the point of sclerosis. This can be assessed at an early stage (three months to one year). 5. Maintained supervision necessary, as is complementary treatment. If two years go by without complementary injections having been necessary then the patient may be left to check for himself, and consult only when signs of varicosity appear.
