title: [The importance of perforators in surgical treatment of varices of the lower extremities].
abstract: The authors discuss the role of insufficient perforating veins in the surgical treatment of primary varicosities of the lower extremities. They evaluated the frequency and site of insufficient perforating veins in 284 patients, operated in 1989-1991. Insufficient perforating veins were found in 21.8% operated patients. Most frequently insufficiency of perforating veins of Cockett's group was found, i.e. in 77.4%. Patients who were operated on account of a relapse of varicosities had insufficient perforating veins in 38% and in patients with trophic skin changes insufficient perforating veins were found in 78.5%. The haemodynamic role of perforating veins and their importance with regard to relapses of varicosities is discussed. The authors describe their own diagnostic and therapeutic procedure.
