Injection Sclerotherapy for Varicose Veins: History and Effectiveness

Gabriel Goren

Abstract

Others preceded Tournay in practicing ‘modern’ methods of injection sclerotherapy. Extensive evidence indicates that injection sclerotherapy gives poor long-term results in the treatment of varicose veins related to saphenous incompetence and that high saphenous ligation is necessary to prevent reflux and recurrent varices.
