title: [Clinical analysis on treatment for superficial varicosities of low limbs with minimally invasive rotary varicotomy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate therapeutic efficacy of minimally invasive rotary varicotomy (TriVex) for superficial varicosities of low limbs and summarize our therapeutic experiences.
  
  
  METHODS
  One hundred and eighty-two cases (totally 216 lower limbs) were applied minimally invasive rotary varicotomy (TriVex) and relative clinical data was analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average operation time for each limb was 48 min. Discomfort and pain of lower limbs disappeared in all of patients after operation. There was no residual of superficial varicosities. There was no severe complication and recurrence of varicosities. The postoperative complication rate was 21.3%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For treatment of superficial varicosities of low limbs, minimally invasive rotary varicotomy (TriVex) have many advantages including minimal invasion, quick recovery, safety and cosmetic effect. In addition, it has extensive indications and satisfactory therapeutic efficacy. It would be beneficial to master the operative techniques of key procedures. It could decrease complications and get better curative effects.
