Abstract
Background: Varicose veins and their associated symptoms and complications constitute chronic vascular disorders leading to surgical treatment. In developing countries like India, study encompassing the clinical evaluation and management of varicose veins on the conventional lines seems a necessity to improve the quality care with the available resources. The objective of the study is to analyze the clinical presentations, surgical management and its outcome and complications associated with varicose veins in lower limbs. Methods: A total 70 number of patients with primary varicose veins admitted, investigated, operated and followed up. Final outcome evaluated. All the information was taken down in the proforma designed for the study. Results: In the study it was noted that the varicose veins affect the young adult and middle age population (20-60yrs). Long saphenous vein involvement was seen in 60% of patients and both long and short saphenous vein involvement in 13%. Sapheno-femoral flush ligation with stripping appears to be best option for Long saphenous vein truncal involvement with no recurrence in follow up. Conclusions: In Majority of the varicose vein patients with complications, surgical management with stripping of path of incompetence (i.e. Long saphenous vein trunk) with incompetent perforator ligation appear to be best option for lower limb varicose veins under our settings.
