[External saphenous vein excision with mini-phlebectomy].
The surgical treatment of the varicosities of the short saphenous vein is one of most controversial matter of modern phlebology. The anatomy of this vessel, that is deep, and is accompanied by the sapheno external nerve, can be very varied species for that which concerns the sapheno popliteal joint. The traditional surgery as the sclerotherapy exposes the patient to risks and failures. For such reasons the authors believe that the modern technique of stab evulsion phlebectomy could be formatted like the treatment of choice of the venous pathology of the short saphenous vein. Synthesizing, the stab evulsion phlebectomy consists of the removal of the varicosities of the lower limbs through incisions of the skin of 1-3 mm using special surgical instruments with hook (Chrochets). The technique doesn't foresee neither stitching neither vascular binding, and could be performed on local anesthesia and in ambulatory regimen. The results of the technique and the absence of complications suggests its adoption of principle in the treatment of the incompetence of the short saphenous vein.
