Abstract

Our aim is to emphasize the importance of subfascial ligation in patients with active venous ulcers at the level of lower extremite or ankle, on the scar healing. Methods: Our study was a prospective study and included 18 patients with active venous ulcers to whom subfascial ligation was done to 20 extremities. 16 patients were male and two patients were female. Ages of patients were between 38-58 (mean age was 49.1). Patients were examined by history, physical examination, and duplex ultrasonography, and classified according to CEAP (Clinical, Etiological, Anatomical, Pathological) classification. Median incisions were done from ankle to leg level to the extremities and through these perforator veins were found and ligated. Results: Mean time from the induction of general anesthesia to the end of the operation was 165 minutes (125- 205 minutes). Mean number of ligated perforator veins was 3.4 (3-5). No major complication was seen. Mean hospitalisation time was 3.6 days (3-5). At the third month of follow up period all scars were healed and all patients were continued to their normal life. Conclusion: We think that no considerable difference seen when we compare the open surgery with the SEPS technique for the patients with leg ulcers due the venous insufficiency. Because we found that hospitalisation period and scar healing time of our patients is not different from the patients treated with SEPS technique when we examined their series.

Özet

Alt ekstremite de ayak bilek seviyesinde yada kururiste aktif venöz ülseri olan hastalarda subfasiyal ligasyon yapılmasının yara iyileşmesindeki önemini vurgulamak ve ülkemizde hala yaygın olmayan subfasiyal endoskopik perforatör ven cerrahisi (SEPS) ile litaratür eşliğinde tartışmak. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Aktif venöz ülserleri olan, 20 ekstremiteye subfasiyal ligasyon uyguladığımız 18 hastayı prospektif çalışmaya aldık. Hastaların onaltısı erkek ikisi kadın olup yaşları 38-58 arasında (ortalama: 49.1 yaß) idi. Hastalar anamnez fizik muayene ve dupplex renkli ultrasonografi ile değerlendirilerek, CEAP (Klinik, Etyolojik, Anatomik, Patolojik) sınıflamasına göre gruplandırıldı. Bacaklara ayak bilek seviyesinden diz seviyesine kadar medial insizyonlar yapılarak subfasiyal perforatör venler bulundu ve ligatüre edilerek divize edildi Bulgular: Hastalara genel anestezi verildikten, ameliyathane çıkışına kadar ortalama ameliyat süresi 165 dakika (125- 205 dakika) idi. Ortalama 3.4 perforan vene (3-5) müdahale edildi. Major komplikasyon ile karşılaşılmadı. Hastalar ortalama 3.6 gün (3-5) hastanede yattı. Hastaların üçüncü ay takiplerinde hepsinin yara yerleri kapanmış ve hastalar normal çalışma yaşantılarına dönmüşlerdi. Sonuç: Venöz yetmezliğe bağlı bacak ülseri olan hastalarda açık cerrahi teknikle mudahale edilmesinin SEPS ile karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı fark olmadığı kanatindeyiz. Çünkü serimizde gerek hastaların hastanede yatış süreleri gerekse ülserlerinin iyileßme sürelerinin SEPS sonuçlarına yakın olduğunu incelediğimiz serilerde gördük.
