Primary tabs

Scavee, V. Theys, Serge [UCL] Schoevaerdts, Jean-Claude

The authors report their experience with a new surgical technique, the transilluminated powered mini-phlebectomy (Trivex' System, Smith & Nephew Inc, Andover, USA), to remove primary varicose veins. There were 70 patients, 50 women and 20 men, with a mean age of 52 +/- 9 years. The average operating time was 56 +/- 8 min (range 30-75 min). The mean number of incisions was five (range 2-8). The postoperative pain, cosmetic scores and all complications were evaluated prospectively. (C) 2003 Royal Society of Medicine Press.
