title: [Minimally invasive surgery of varicose disease].
abstract: The authors present a comparative analysis of operative treatment of 301 patients with the varicose disease operated on by traditional methods, and 206 patients subjected to minimally invasive operations. In the first group 8.3% of the patients had wound complications, 1.3% had ligature fistulas, 56% had neuropathies of ankles and feet. A comparison with the patients operated on by the minimally invasive method has shown that the operations were of shorter duration, with less blood loss, the postoperative period was 2.4 times shorter with inconsiderable pains not requiring narcotic anesthesia. Wound complications were noted in three times fewer cases, the number of neuropathies was as little as 3.9%, the period of temporary disablement was 1.4 times shorter.
