Scientific title | Avulsion or ligation - small tributaries of long saphenous vein in groin, does it really matter? |
Study objectives | Simple avulsion rather than ligation of the small tributaries of the long saphenous vein in the groin reduces time for groin surgery, causes no more pain and produces no increase in the incidence of groin haematoma. Does avulsion rather than ligation of small tributaries reduce the incidence of recurrence? |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Cardiovascular: Long saphenous vein |
Intervention | Randomised controlled trial - envelope opened by anaesthetist after patient is anaesthetised for operation. |
Intervention type | Procedure/Surgery |
Primary outcome measure | Groin bruising or haematoma; sign of infection; pain; other adverse events - proforma to be filled in by single nursing sister who is 'blinded' to the patient's randomisation group. Follow up at 24 h and 1 week by nurse. Surgeon sees patient for 6 and 12 month follow up to check for recurrence in groin (avulsion reduces incidence of groin recurrence). |
