Saphenion®: Turning Time at Charité – Elite exchange

Saphenion®: Turning Time at Charitè – The Berlin Charité, Germany’s well-known hospital, was at the same time a center of research, teaching, and further education. It was part of the university, which was given the name Humboldt in GDR times. After the end of the GDR a considerable exchange of management personnel took place in the Charité, the media supplied the accompanying music with Stasi hysteria and scandal stories. The Charité, also in GDR times nationally and internationally a well-known university hospital, now seemed to have been a branch of the MfS and the Politbureau in public perception.

Saphenion®: Leitlinien der Krampfaderverödung

Saphenion®: Unter der Verödungstherapie versteht man die geplante Ausschaltung von Krampfadern unterschiedlicher Lokalisation im Gewebe durch Einspritzen eines Verödungsmittels (Ethoxisklerol / Schaum). Dadurch soll eine ausgeprägte Schädigung der inneren Gefäßwand erreicht werden, die idealerweise zu einer Umwandlung der Vene in einen bindegewebigen Strang führt. Dieser rekanalisiert nicht und ersetzt in funktioneller Sicht auch das radikalchirurgische Herausziehen von Krampfadern.
Saphenion®: Sclerotherapy is the planned elimination of varicose veins at different locations in the tissue by injecting a sclerosing agent (ethoxisclerol / foam). This is intended to cause pronounced damage to the inner vessel wall, which ideally leads to the vein being transformed into a strand of connective tissue. This does not recanalize and functionally replaces the radical surgical removal of varicose veins.

Saphenion®: Häufigkeit von Venenerkrankungen

In Deutschland werden nach den aktuellen statistischen Erhebungen immer noch ca. 65 – 70% aller Veneneingriffe radikalchirurgisch durchgeführt. Damit koppelt sich das Land von den Entwicklungen in anderen medizinisch hoch entwickelten Ländern ( USA, GB, Westeuropa, EU – Länder, Nordeuropa) komplett ab. In den USA werden inzwischen mehr als 90% aller Krampfadereingriffe minimalinvasiv endovenös durchgeführt.
Dies ist um so unverständlicher, da angesichts des demografischen Wandels ist mit einer weiteren Zunahme venöser Erkrankungen und insbesondere einer Stadienverschiebung hin zu schwererer Krampfadernausbildung zu rechnen ist.
According to current statistics, around 65 – 70% of all vein operations in Germany are still performed using radical surgery. This means that the country is completely decoupled from developments in other medically highly developed countries (USA, UK, Western Europe, EU countries, Northern Europe). In the USA, more than 90% of all varicose vein procedures are now performed using minimally invasive endovenous surgery.
This is all the more incomprehensible as, in view of demographic change, a further increase in venous diseases and, in particular, a shift in stages towards more severe varicose veins is to be expected!

Saphenion®: Die Radikalität der Krampfadertherapie

Saphenion®: Die Radikalität der Krampfadertherapie – Der radikale operative Umgang mit der Vena saphena magna und Vena saphena parva und die damit verbundenen Komplikationen führten bereits schon in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts zu einer Zurückhaltung und lediglich eingeschränkten Verbreitung des Stripping – Verfahrens in Deutschland.

Saphenion®: The radical nature of varicose vein therapy – The radical surgical treatment of the great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein and the associated complications led to reluctance and only limited use of the stripping procedure in Germany as early as the first half of the 20th century.
