FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: there are conducted crossectomy, direct and/or indirect thrombectomy, ligation of inadequate perforating veins and varicose flows of subcutaneous vein stems. A pathological venous bed is eliminated by endovasal laser coagulation (EVLC) of the inadequate subcutaneous vein stems. The surgical procedure is performed under tumescent anaesthesia of the EVLC region by physiologic saline cooled to 6-7°C at ozone concentration 4-5 mcg/ml. It is assisted by continuous ultrasonic navigation. The EVLC region involved in varicothrombophlebitis and the incisional wound are processed by argon-plasma flow followed by elastic compression of the operated extremity.

EFFECT: method extends the range of product for treating acute varicothrombophlebitis of the lower extremities.
