A compression-functional test is recommended to determine indications to the Ascar-Zelenin operation and in selecting the optimum compression of crural muscles. The suggested complex of operative procedures involves: radical operation in the oval fossa region, partial of total removal of the great saphenous vein trunk, and, if indicated, also small saphenous vein, the Kocher and Crokett operation, duplication of the crural aponeurosis in the authors' modification with production of an additional dosaged pressure in the crural aponeurotic sheath. Late results followed up to 2 years were good and satisfactory in 94.4%, and poor--in 5.6% of the operated objects.
