“…With this phleboextractor the cutaneous distal cut can be avoided since the leg saphena is dissected by careful finger pressures, while the thigh saphena can be removed from the inguinal incision. 4 The varicectomies were performed by removing the varicose venous branches according to the Muller technique to reduce perioperative and postoperative bleeding as much as possible.…”

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and the acceptance of day care varicose veins surgery in elderly patients. Forty-six consecutive patients more than sixtyfive years old (51 legs) were operated on for varicose veins under locoregional anesthesia and day care stay: the interventions were 4 saphenectomies, 25 short strippings, 10 crossectomies (proximal saphenous ligation) of which 6 were with short saphenous removal, and 12 varicectomies and interruptions of perforator veins. All patients went home after five to six hours from operation and none required readmission to hospital. Complications were minimal and comprised 2 wound infections. Inquiry into the patients' opinions suggested that both local anesthesia and day care were very acceptable. In conclusion the day care phlebological surgery has been shown to be both safe and acceptable in selected elderly patients.

“…Good results have been reported also with combined GSV high ligation and stab avulsion phlebectomy in outpatient setting, 4 but results of these techniques are not supported in the majority of references and the general trend in varicose veins surgery is not toward saphenous ligation but instead is toward removing the saphenous vein 5 . Use of an external phleboextractor (EP) for dissecting the GSV appeared to significantly reduce tissue trauma, 6 and we have reported recently our own long‐term results with this technique in a large series of patients 7 …”
