Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Varicose veins are a routinely encountered in routine surgical practice. Their presentation varies from pure cosmetic, symptomatic to active ulceration. Improved socioeconomic status in modern society have resulted more patients with Varicose veins presenting with cosmetic concerns and mild symptoms. These patients were previously overlooked in busy peripheral surgical units. Material and Method: Patients presenting with Varicose Vein to a surgical OPD at National Institute of Medical Science and Research, Jaipur from 1st July 2015 to 31st July 2016 were analyzed. Clinical presentations were staged accordingly. Cases were randomly divided into two groups: Group A(Multiple Ligation) and Group B (GSV Stripping). Results: Fifty patients with Varicose Vein were studied. We included all patients between 25 to 50 years of age. Males are predominantly affected in our study accounting for 70% as compared to females (30%).Patients presenting with dilated veins had a 100% chance of being free of dilated veins after stripping of the long saphenous vein and Similar results were obtained by Subfacial Multiple ligation of perforators without long saphenous vein stripping. Thus, cosmetic results of long saphenous vein stripping were excellent in our study. Conclusions: Majority of the study group presented with early varicose veins disease. Even in a peripheral setting there is increased awareness and early health seeking pattern for Varicose vein.In our study it is concluded that stripping of Great saphenous vein is an effective treatment method as compared with Multiple Ligation in comparison to post operative recovery and cosmetic results.
