[Functional and esthetic results of surgery of leg varices].
An experience of 1240 patients suffering from varicose veins of the lower limbs and operated from December 1987 to October 1992, is reported. In order to obtain an objective valuation of functional and aesthetic results, a table with subjective symptoms and clinical and instrumental signs was filled in, before the surgical operation. The correction of anatomic and functional defects and the results so obtained were evaluated by filling in another table after the operation and comparing the postoperative to the preoperative situation. We gave different scores to each parameter considered according to the results obtained and the overall result was obtained by adding up all the different scores for each parameter. In 73.6% of the patients we registered the maximum score, 15 (excellent result), in 1.9% of the patients the score obtained was 10 (sufficient result) and in the remaining 24.5% of the patients the score was variable from 14 to 11 (good result).
