Background: Varicose veins are also common in short saphenous vein territory which has most variable anatomy in lower extremity. Variations in the veins of the lower limb are very common. This may be due to the anomalous involvement of the main trunks of the veins or their tributaries alone. Detailed knowledge regarding the anatomical variations such as reduplication of vein and unusual course and termination of the vein is a prerequisite in the diagnosis and management of vascular diseases. Methods: Included in the study were 626 Limbs. They were referred to radiology department by physicians, surgeons, and orthopedicians for investigation of clinically detected superficial varicosities and suspected chronic venous disease. The examination includes history, clinical examination, and detailed duplex scanning of lower limb veins. Study data were based on the detailed examination and reporting of anatomic variation of termination of the short saphenous vein (SSV). Duplex scanning of lower limb veins was performed with the patient standing on low stool. Body weight was on placed on a contralateral limb which enabled examined side to be relaxed, slightly flexed, and externally rotated position. The popliteal fossa and calf venous system were evaluated with particular attention to termination of SSV. A real time B-mode zoom facility enabled optimal anatomic delineation of the SSV and Giacomini vein. The termination of SSV is variable and three patterns have been defined. Results: Following important observations was made: 410 out of 620 (65%) lower extremities shows the prevalence of Giacomini vein. In 45 out of 620 (7.2%) lower extremities, the SSV terminated into popliteal vein with further extension into thigh. In 171 out of 620 (27%) lower extremities, the SSV terminated into popliteal vein. Conclusion: A proper knowledge about the anatomy of the short saphenous vein and its communications with other veins and mode of termination of short saphenous vein is mandatory for a safe and successful intervention. The variant termination of the small saphenous vein may contribute to recurrent varicose veins in this territory; this aspect generally makes the subject of interest in the view of varicose vein operations.
Varicose ulcer are the wound caused due to improper functioning of venous valve. Venous ulcer develop mostly along the medial distal leg can be painful,can bleed & get infected with negative effect on quality of life .When valve gets damaged,it prevents the backflow of the blood, increases local venous pressure &which turns into venous ulcer. After conservative & surgical treatment ,recurrence of venous ulcer is common ranging about 54-78% by the 5th year after wound healing. In Ayurveda varicose vein correlated with Sirajanyadushtyavrana.Acharya Sushruta more scientifically described wound & its management with help of these specific Ayurvedic adjuvant therapies this kind of ulcer may be treated. A 45 yrs male patient diagnosed with varicose ulcer daily dressing done with Unprocessed Haridra,Ghruta& Madhu for 5weeks.The symptom like Pain, Ankle flare, Discharge, Hyperpigmentation,Size of ulcer & Granulation tissue were assessed. Trial showed that unprocessed Haridra,Ghruta,Madhu is effective in the management varicose ulcer. Hence this study conclude Ancient Management is safe, easily available , devoid Complication & Hence better Acceptability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
