В последние годы наблюдается тенденция к омоложению пациентов с клинической картиной хронических заболеваний вен (ХЗВ). По данной проблеме в отечественной и зарубежной литературе имеются лишь единичные публикации, которые не дают ясности по тактике ведения пациентов.</p></sec><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Оценить возможности применения современных малоинвазивных методик в лечении пациентов с варикозной болезнью в детской практике.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. В исследование было включено 30 подростков с варикозной болезнью с клиническим классом С2; возраст до 18 лет, средний возраст 15,9 ± 1,5 года. Средний рост пациентов составил 175,9 ± 10,0 см, индекс массы тела (ИМТ) – 21,5 ± 2,7 кг/м2. Веноспецифические жалобы были отмечены у 23 (76,7%) пациентов: боль (n = 23), отечность (= чувство отека, n = 8), избыточная утомляемость (n = 6). Проведено 34 оперативных вмешательства: эндовазальная лазерная коагуляция (ЭВЛК) ствола большой подкожной вены – 26 (76,5%), ствола малой подкожной вены – 8 (23,5%), передней добавочной подкожной вены – 2 (5,9%). В 29 случаях (85,3%) ЭВЛК была дополнена микрофлебэктомией притоков.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Данные дуплексного сканирования оценены в сроки 12 мес. у 28 (86,7 %) пациентов. Окклюзия целевой вены сохранялась в 96,9%, в одном случае отмечена частичная реканализация просвета большой подкожной вены (БПВ) без возобновления клинической симптоматики. Отмечена положительная динамика по субъективным жалобам: снижение выраженности боли с 2,5 ± 0,5 до 1,2 ± 0,3 (p &lt; 0,05), чувства отечности – с 2,4 ± 0,5 до 0,4 ± 0,2 балла (p &lt; 0,05) по визуальной аналоговой шкале.</p></sec><sec><title>Выводы</title><p>Выводы. Полученные данные позволяют рассматривать ЭВЛК с длиной волны 1940 нм как методику выбора при лечении варикозной болезни у детей и подростков. Существует необходимость продолжения работ в этом направлении для более четкого обоснования тактики активного хирургического лечения пациентов данной возрастной группы.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Introduction. In recent years, there has been a trend toward younger patients with chronic venous disease (CVD). Only a few publications on this topic exist in the domestic and internationalliterature, which do not provide clarity on patient management strategies.</p></sec><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To evaluate the feasibility of using modern minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of pediatric patients with varicose veins.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. The study included 30 adolescents with clinical class C2 varicose veins; aged up to 18 years. The mean age was 15.9 ± 1.5 (12–17) years. The mean patient height was 175.9 ± 10.0 cm, body mass index was 21.5 ± 2.7 kg/m2. Venospecific symptomss were noted in 23 patients (76.7%): pain (n = 23), swelling (feeling of swelling, n = 8), excessive fatigue (n = 6). A total of 34 surgical interventions were performed: endovenous laser obliteration of the great saphenous vein (GSV) – 26 (76.5%), the small saphenous vein – 8 (23.5%), and the anterior accessory saphenous vein – 2 (5.9%). In 29 cases (85.3%),laser obliteration was supplemented by microphlebectomy of the tributaries.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. These duplex scanning data were evaluated over a 12-month period in 28 (86.7%) patients. Target vein occlusion persisted in 96.9%. In one case, partial recanalization of the GSVlumen was observed without recurrence of clinical symptoms. Positive dynamics in subjective complaints were noted: a decrease in pain severity from 2.5 ± 0.5 to 1.2 ± 0.3 (p &lt; 0.05), and swelling from 2.4 ± 0.5 to 0.4 ± 0.2 points (p &lt; 0.05) on the visual analog scale.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>Conclusions. The obtained data allow us to consider EVLT with a wavelength of 1940 nm as the method of choice for the treatment of varicose veins in children and adolescents. There is a need for continued research in this area to more clearly substantiate the tactics of active surgical treatment for patients in this age group.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>варикозная болезнь</kwd><kwd>эндовазальная лазерная коагуляция</kwd><kwd>дети</kwd><kwd>подростки</kwd><kwd>веноспецифичные симптомы</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>varicose veins</kwd><kwd>endovenouslaser obliteration</kwd><kwd>children</kwd><kwd>adolescents</kwd><kwd>vein-specific symptoms</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Weindorf N, Schultz-Ehrenburg U.
