title: The cryovaricectomy (demonstration of a new method).
abstract: The operating technique of the primary varicosity has changed recently. The subcutaneous methods have been used nowdays. We give account of making 416 cases by cryovaricectomy, which is a quite new method. Using this technic we can remove the dilated venous branches during a 3-4 millimeters wide incision of skin and preserve the sufficient main vein. Summarizing of our advantageous experience: the cryovaricectomy is suitable for principles of minimally invasive surgery, and the operating time is much more briefer, the aesthetic results are best, the attendance far shorter and the postoperative complaints of patients much more fewer.
