[Esthetics in phlebology].

Varicose veins are ugly, but the cure should not be worse than the disease. Surgery should aim to avoid unsightly scars. Crossectomy and short stripping of the long saphenous vein only require a 4 cm incision in the inguinal crease and a 4 to 6 mm incision in the mid-thigh and the knee. All of the other varices can be completely eliminated by mini-incisions (0.5 to 1 mm) during outpatient phlebectomy which eliminates the need for sclerosant injections, prevents recurrence of the veins and the development of fibrous bands and complex stains caused by "varicose cadavers". These stains can be eliminated by: a) total extraction of the poorly resorbed varicose cord, b) microsclerosis of the telangiectases and c) several months later, cryotherapy to the melanic spots.
