## Abstract Recent supermicrosurgical techniques have developed the possibility for vascular anastomosis of smaller vessels and it is now safe and sound to perform precise anastomoses between lymphatics and venules. Reported here is the 2 years experience on supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenular ana
Green laser light at 532 nm was utilized in an attempt to thrombose and blanch superficial varicosities of the lower extremity in 14 patients. Selective vascular damage with sparing of overlying skin was the theoretical rationale for use of green light. Seven of the 14 patients achieved satisfactory
Three separate laser modalities were investigated in the treatment of superficial varicosities/telangiectasias of the lower extremities. Sixteen patients were treated and followed for 12 months. The superpulse CO2, the pulsed focally specific CO2, and the Nd:YAG laser transmitted through a diffusing
