Saphenion®: Schicksale der Stammvenen – The fate of truncal veins

Nahezu exakt 65 Jahre ist es her, als mein Freund und Kollege Privatdozent Dr. Wolfgang Lahl als Assistent die Chirurgische Klinik im Berliner Polizeikrankenhaus betrat. Sofort war er als junger Assistent mit der Betreuung der Venenpatienten betraut, denn kein älterer erfahrenerer Kollege wollte diese Aufgabe gerne übernehmen.

Von gleicher Erfahrung kann Dr. Ulf Th.Zierau berichten – 25 Jahre später an der Charitè in Berlin. Kaum als Assistent eingesetzt, waren es die Venenkranken. In dieser Zeit wurde die Venenchirurgie ausschließlich stationär betrieben. Die Patienten waren in aller Regel für 7 Tage hospitalisiert. So lernten wir beide – fast ein Viertel Jahrhundert auseinander jeweils das Schicksal der Vena saphena kennen.
It was almost exactly 65 years ago that my friend and colleague Privatdozent Dr. Wolfgang Lahl joined the Surgical Clinic at the Berlin Police Hospital as an assistant. As a young assistant, he was immediately entrusted with the care of vein patients, as no older, more experienced colleague wanted to take on this task.

Dr. Ulf Th. Zierau can report the same experience – 25 years later at the Charitè in Berlin. As soon as he was appointed as an assistant, it was the vein patients. At that time, vein surgery was performed exclusively on an inpatient basis. Patients were usually hospitalized for 7 days. This is how we both got to know the fate of the saphenous vein – almost a quarter of a century apart.

Saphenion®: VenaSeal® 10 Jahre in der Vene? Saphenion®: VenaSeal® 10 years inside the veins?

Saphenion®: VenaSeal® 10 Jahre in der Vene? In den letzten Jahren haben sich in den Medien und auf Webseiten Aussagen von Kollegen gehäuft, die den Venenkleber sehr populistisch bewerten und dabei auch nicht vor Schreckensbegriffen, wie: “ Unmengen von Chemie“, “ Sekundenkleber“ und „Gifteinspritzungen in die Vene“ zurückschrecken.
Lately, in the media and on websites phrases of colleagues who rate the vein glue very populist and do not shrink from horrors such as: „tons of chemistry“, „superglue“ and „poison injections into the vein“.

The Covid-19 High Noon: thrombosis – pulmonary embolism

Quote from Prof. Püschel: „First of all, we found that the causes of death are very different. There are no ‚corona deaths, as the statistics suggest,“ said Püschel of the „FAZ“. Instead, there are „a lot of causes of death“ in connection with the corona virus. It should be clearly stated that the previous diseases played a very important role in the course of the disease, according to the legal doctor.

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.
