AbstractTo investigate the efficiency of high ligation, great saphenous vein stripping and subfascial perforator vein surgery for treating great saphenous vein varicosis under the assistance of sterilized electric pneumatic tourniquet and Esmarchs bandage.In total, 274 patients confirmed with primary varicosis between January 2014 and November 2017 were included in this study. Patients were divided intoAfter surgery, the affected limbs in both groups were wrapped up using the elastic bandage for 2 weeks, followed by wearing elastic stocking for 6 months. Then we analyzed the intraoperative bleeding, surgery time, subcutaneous hemorrhage after surgery and postoperative pains.The surgical time in the treatment group was significantly lower than that of control group (58.62 ± 7.47 minutes vs 76.35 ± 9.24 minutes, P < .01). The intraoperative bleeding in the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group (17.56 ± 3.52 ml vs 49.87 ± 8.78 ml, P < .01).High ligation, great saphenous vein stripping, and subfascial perforator vein surgery under the assistance of sterilized electric pneumatic tourniquet and Esmarch's bandage was effective for the treatment of varicosis in lower limbs featured by reduced surgery time and less bleeding.
