Abstract
AIM: To demonstrate the importance of preoperative ultrasound haemodynamic mapping of venous system in surgery of varicose veins. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Doppler ultrasound evaluation of haemodynamic features of lower limb venous system according to Franceschi’s subdivision. DISCUSSION:The importance of Doppler mapping in varicose veins surgery shows a similarity with the Plebographic classification of venous system developed by W. Hach. The study also reassesses the role of varicectomy in the surgery of varicose veins. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative Doppler ultrasound mapping is essential to avoid accident and prevent recurrence of varicose veins.
