[Surgery of varicose vein insufficiency].
Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift 2016 June
The basis of surgery of great saphenous vein insufficiency is the concept of "privat circulation" coined by Trendelenburg in 1891. It was only logical that the dissection of the insuffcient vein or it's partial or complete resection could bring about healing. Over the years varicose vein stripping was modified to finally result in the highly effectiv concept of crossectomy and stripping. For decades this was the Goldstandard in surgery of varicose vein insufficiency. All the other minimally invasive therapeutic techniques which have been developed in the last decades had to compete with crossectomy and stripping. Thanks to progress in technical development the classic stripping procedure has been replaced by highly effectiv, minimally invasiv procedures, at least in the western industrialisied countries. For a minority of patients with specific anatomical pathologies as well as countries with limited health resources vein stripping remains a surgical standard procedure.
