A new waist-length lightweight elastic stocking.

This trial has clearly demonstrated that the new waist-length lightweight elastic stocking introduces advantages over the normal thigh-length lightweight elastic stocking, with regard to comfort and appearance, and over support tights by applying greater pressure. Since they conform to current fashion they are more easily accepted by women patients, who preferred them to the present thigh-length elastic hosiery.

Vulval phlebography in the pelvic congestion syndrome.

Twelve patients referred to a general surgeon with special interest in varicose veins were found to have vulval varices. All the patients were considered to be suffering from the pelvic congestion syndrome. Their radiological investigation by percutaneous vulval phlebography is described. It is suggested that patients with vulval varices should be examined radiologically by percutaneous vulval vein injection of contrast medium. It is postulated that pelvic vein thrombosis may precipitate the pelvic congestion syndrome. Whereas there is no established treatment of this syndrome, the radiological examination has proved helpful in planning the treatment of these patients.
