title: [Venous pressure measurement in phlebology].
abstract: Venous pressure measurement has become an important investigation method for the assessment of a venous dysfunction in the lower extremity. It can be performed in every physician's practice with simple equipment. For a graphic documentation a pressure transducer, an electromanometer, and a pen recorder are required. By this method the following clinical questions can be answered: Severity of venous dysfunction, quantitative assessment of the ambulation hypertension; Course of venous dysfunction after thrombosis. In what cases may an improvement be achieved (indication for Palma's operation or of excision of the long saphenous vein and of incompetent perforators, respectively); and Objective control of success after therapy.
