Abstract

We should make it clear that we are in no way opposed to the surgical treatment of varicose veins when this implies accurate location of the perforators with their interruption and ligation followed by repair of the fascial orifice transmitting the perforators.

We are completely opposed to the old injection therapy which resulted in uncontrolled thrombosis.

The inherent advantages of our technique are as follows: (1) immediate relief of symptoms, (2) absence of mortality and morbidity, (3) simplicity of application, (4) an outpatient treatment, (5) inexpensive, (6) avoidance of phlebitis and pulmonary embolism in the puerperium.
