ABSTRACT

Abdominal laser surgery has demonstrated to be a technique less invasive than saphenecthomy with phleboextractor, nevertheless, has not been exempt of some complications where the most feared is pulmonary thromboembolism secondary to deep vein thrombosis. Next we describe the clinical case of a patient who during her postoperatory state presented a square of phlebitis complicated with a phlemose cellulitis type infection in the thigh, which was drained and treated with antibiotic with favorable evolution. The percentage of success of abdominal laser surgery have arrived around 95%. Infectious probabilities are infrequent in this type of surgery, but not for that reason we do not have to take all the asepsis or antisepsis measures.
