M V Namashko

682 patients underwent treatment for varicose veins of lower extremities (VVLE). 641 patients with thrombophlebitis of VVLE were operated: in 62.9% of patients urgent operation and in 37.1% delayed operation after conservative treatment were made. Operation procedure comprised removal of all thrombotic varicose veins and ligation of communicant veins. The treatment of acute thrombophlebitis affecting anatomically intact veins in 41 patients was conservative. Comparative evaluation of the results of treatment evidences, that active surgical policy is justified as it leads to a decrease of complication rate, shortening of hospital stay duration 2 times and reduction of disability period. Conservative treatment of acute thrombophlebitis in intact veins is advisable.
