ABSTRACT
AIM:
Subfascial endoscopic perforating veins section (SEPS) is a modern surgical method used in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency. The paper presents the postoperative results using SEPS technique at the patients with chronic venous insufficiency of the inferior limbs of different etiologies. MATERIAL ANDMETHOD:
We followed 26 patients, 16 women and 10 men, with ages between 16-75 years, with chronic venous insufficiency at the inferior legs. 20 patients had only one inferior limb affected by the disease and 6 patients had both limbs involved. They were, after CEAP clinical criterion, in C4, C5 and C6 classes and they had three different etiologies as primary varices with an evolutive period of 20 years, postthrombotic syndrome and congenital varices. We performed 32 SEPS operations in the 1-rst Clinic of Surgery, University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Victor Babes" Timisoara.RESULTS:
The time of healing and postoperative complications were reduced after SEPS procedures. The healing is 100% at three months after surgery. The check up after 12 months showed a rate of 87.5% of healing. We recorded 4 unilateral relapses at patients that had postthrombotic syndrome. DISCUSSIONS The study realized in our clinic comparing with other studies from the literature, shows that our results are similar to that recorded in medical centers from other countries demonstrating the superiority of SEPS methods comparing with the classical Linton or Felder methods of perforating veins ligation.
