title: [THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS RESULTS OF ENDOVASCULAR LASER COAGULATION AND A STANDARD PHLEBECTOMY IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES VEINS].
abstract: The results of treatment of 58 patients, suffering chronic diseases of the lower extremities veins, were analyzed. In 28 patients a vertical reflux was eliminated using endovascular laser coagulation, in 32 patients--a standard phlebectomy in accordance to Babcock method was performed. The complications rate was compared as well as the term of the patients' stationary treatment. After elimination of endovascular laser coag- ulation the complications rate and severity is significantly lesser, than after a standard phiebectomy. In accordance to the ultrasonographic duplex scanning data in 12 mo in one patient a partial recanalization of large subcutaneous vein was noted. A total fibrous transformation of the coagulated venous trunks was achieved in 95.24% of the patients. Duration of postoperative stationary treatment have had reduced from (4.8 ± 0.8) to (1.2 ± 0.1) days (p < 0.001).
