Abstract
Though venous ulcer was caused by venous hypertention of lower limb deep vein thrombosis, the risk facter of the primary lower limb varicose vein associated with lower limb stasis syndrome is still unknown in recent years.
Of 268 cases (336 legs) of primary lower limb varicose vein, 104 cases (128 legs) were operated on for clinical complication or associated diseases.
Twenty-five cases (26 legs) out of the 104 surgical cases were associated with venous ulcer, the rate of association being 24.0%.
Lower limb stasis syndrome associating with stasis ulcer tended to occur in the left lower limb.
In the surgical treatment of lower limb primary varicose vein with stasis ulcer, sure subcutaneous stripping techniques for the primary varices including subfascial ligation of a perforating vein and ligation of uncom-municating vein is necessary.
