Negli ultimi anni abbiamo osservato un numero sempre più crescente di nuovi materiali proposti come sostituti dell'osso umano

Dalla Presentazione …Il mondo della Flebologia vive oggi un momento del tutto particolare: lo stripping della safena, che per tanti anni ha rappresentato la sola tecnica chirurgica nella malattia venosa cronica, è stato progressivamente sostituito prima dalla chirurgia emodinamica e più recentemente dalle tecniche endovascolari, laser e radiofrequenza, con il risultato di applicare molto spesso la stessa tecnica a pazienti con quadri clinici diversi.…ogni paziente va studiato singolarmente con ecocolordoppler secondo parametri anatomici ed emodinamici ben precisi al fine di procedere ad una chirurgia “non inutilmente demolitiva ma utilmente per il paziente conservativa”. Il diametro safenico, la portata, la velocità e l’energia del reflusso costituiscono i nuovi parametri di riferimento della chirurgia funzionale, volta ad agire solo sul tratto di safena interessata dalle alterazioni morfologiche ed istochimiche conseguenti ad un reflusso “ad alta energia” ed a risparmiare quindi quanto più possibile la safena stessa… Dalla Introduzione …Questo libro è rivolto a tutti coloro che praticano la chirurgia ablativa. È rivolto a tutti quei chirurghi che continuano a fare stripping e che in Italia sono ancora la maggioranza. È rivolto a tutti quei chirurghi che non sono flebologi ma continuano ad operare varici. È rivolto soprattutto ai giovani che non hanno avuto la fortuna di aver conosciuto il momento di profonda crisi della chirurgia ablativa con l’avvento in flebologia degli amici emodinamisti……con questo libro vogliamo riportare al centro dell’attenzione, soprattutto per i giovani, lo studio del sistema venoso preoperatorio mediante ecocolordoppler, focalizzando l’attenzione su alcuni parametri anatomici ed emodinamici semplici ed elementari che rappresentano la base per la chirurgia ablativa. Questi parametri ci consentono di capire perché va operato il paziente e quale strategia chirurgica ablativa adottare e anche quale tecnica migliore impiegare…Stampato completamente a colori
