title: [Method of puncture electrocoagulation in the treatment of patients with varicose veins].
abstract: The author proposes to treat varicose veins by electrocoagulation using the needles of different diameter connected with the device EC 500 M. The method was used in treatment of 91 patients mostly with the 2nd and 3rd stages of chronic venous insufficiency. Ligation of the opening of the great subcutaneous vein and coagulation of it was simultaneously fulfilled in 56 patients. The treatment was performed in the out-patient clinic. In most of the patients (97.9%) good clinical and cosmetic results were noted. The method is sufficiently radical and allows the complications characteristic of sclerotherapy to be avoided.
