Description

Since May 2010, 825 consecutive cases of varicose veins have been treated in day surgery. Operative procedures consisted of high ligation, stripping of the saphenous vein, and varicotomy in small incisions. A balanced anesthesia, including tumescent local anesthesia, intravenous administration of remifentanil and propofol, and oxygen inhalation was applied. Mean age of the patients was 61.5±11.0 years old. Men/women ratio was 1: 2.73. Operation times averaged 36.5 minutes and on average 4.31 skin incisions were made. Immediately after surgery, all patients were able to walk, drink, and return home. Major complications were not observed. Most patients having incompetent saphenous veins could be treated this way in day surgery.
