Role of the haemodynamic mapping in varicose vein surgery of lower limbs.
OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate the importance of preoperative ultrasound haemodynamic mapping of venous system in surgery of varicose veins.


METHODS
Doppler ultrasound evaluation of haemodynamic features of lower limb venous system according to Franceschi's subdivision.


CONCLUSIONS
The importance of Doppler mapping in varicose veins surgery shows a similarity with the Plebographic classification of venous system developed by W. Hach. The study also reassesses the role of varicectomy in the surgery of varicose veins.


CONCLUSIONS
Preoperative Doppler ultrasound mapping is essential to avoid accident and prevent recurrence of varicose veins.
