Abstract:ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) combined with endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) in treatment of lower extremity varicose vein.MethodsA total of 81 limbs with valve insufficiency of venous perforators diagnosed by ascending phlebography from August 2016 to October 2017 were selected including 40 limbs received SEPS combining with EVLT and preservation of greater saphenous vein as study group and 41 limbs received classic stripping of greater saphenous vein with high ligation as control group.ResultsVaricosities and tributaries of patients in 2 groups were all disappeared with skin pigmentation lightened and ulcer healed. The symptoms did not recur during the period of follow-up from 5 to 11 months. The operation time in study group was less than that in control group (1.1 hvs3.0 h,P<0.01) and the incision number was less in study group than in control group (2.1vs5.8,P<0.01). Decrease in hospital stay (1.1 dvs3.9 d,P<0.01) and ecchymosis area of lower extremities (5.2 cm²vs20.3 cm²,P<0.01) in study group was found when compared those in control group. The difference all had statistical significance.ConclusionsSEPS combined with EVLT and preservation of greater saphenous vein in treatment of lower extremity varicose vein would be minimal invasive and recover quickly.
