Abstract

Sclerotherapy has been used for a long time now in many European Countries for the treatment of varicose veins of the lower limbs. However, sclerotherapy has often been excluded from the international scientific world and from university hospitals. Therefore, there are stili many controversies concerning the techniques available, the indications, and the results of the treatment. For this reason a scientific committee, nominated by five Departments of Surgery from five different Italian university hospitals (namely Padua, Verona, Milan, Modena, and Rome) proposed the organization of an Dermato/ Surg 1995;21:642-647 and subfascial perforating vein ligation for recurrent venous ulceration. Br J Surg 1993;80:845-8. 37. Raju S, Fredericks R. Venous obstruction: an analysis of one hundred thirty-seven cases with hemodynamic, venographic, and clinical correlations.
