Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Postoperative edema (leg volume) and pain scores are considered primary
endpoints.
Secondary outcome
Postoperative complications and limitation of mobilisation are secundary
endpoints.
Background summary
The incidence in Dutch primary care of varicosis is 5 per 1000 patients and
18.473 strippings were performed in 2007. Surgical treatment for primary
varicosis of the great saphenous vein (GSV) in the Netherlands is saphenous
ligation, crossectomy and short stripping of the great saphenous vein.
After GSV stripping, compression therapy with compression bandages is
prescribed to reduce haemorrhage, oedema, haematoma and pain, based on the
guidelines of the Dutch Society for Surgery.There is not much evidence yet
regarding the usefull length of time of compression bandages after varicose
vein surgery. The effects of compression bandages after surgery for primary
varicosis of the greater saphenous vein are studied.
Study objective
"the effects of compression bandages after varicose vein surgery".
Study design

Intervention
The intervention is shortening the period of compression bandaging from 72 to 4
hours after varicous vein surgery.
Study burden and risks
- higher risk on leg edema
- higher risk on leg hematoma
