title: [Treatment of venous reflux disease of the leg by deep-venous valve reconstruction].
abstract: In order to evaluate the effect and indication of three kinds of deep-venous valve reconstruction surgery, 62 cases with venous reflux disease of the leg had been treated from Jan. 1992 to Jun. 1996. All the patients had varicose vein and tingle in varying degrees, besides swelling in 30 cases, pigmentation in 28 cases, ulcer in 14 cases. The course of disease ranged from 1 to 30 years (averaged 14.6 years).
  
  
  METHODS
  14 cases were treated by ringing of the superficial femoral venous 1st valve, 1 case was treated by repairing of the superficial femoral venous 1st valve, 47 cases were treated by formation of substitute valve outside the popliteal vein. The symptoms of all the patients were alleviated with an average follow-up for 20 months. Fourteen cases with ulcer were healed compeletely and no recurrence. The conclusion were: 1. ringing and repairing of the venous valve were suitable for level I-II venous valvular incompetence. 2. formation of substitute valve outside the popliteal vein was suitable for level III-IV venous valvular incompetence or congenital valvular defect. 3. the width of the ringing material should be increased to 2 cm according to the pathological basis. 4. both femoral veins should be ringed in the treatment of primary valvular incompetence of double deep vein deformity. 5. the formation of substitute valve outside the popliteal vein was also available in the treatment of popliteal vein with many branches.
