Özet

Objectives: The study aims to investigate the change in postoperative clinic, pain, and general quality of life of patients who were operated on due to chronic venous disease (CVD), according to their body mass index (BMI). Materials and methods: 150 patients (30-45 years) who were treated with cyanoacrylate embolization for CVD between January 2017 and February 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical (C) category of clinical, etiology, anatomy, and pathophysiology (CEAP) classification venous clinical severity score (VCSS) and visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaires were applied to the patients before and after the operation periodically. The patients were surveyed preoperatively and postoperatively at 1st, 6th, 12th, and 24th months. Results: The patients were divided into three groups according to their BMI. In the comparison between normal and overweight participants, venous reflux, CEAP C categories, and VAS scores were not statistically significantly different in preoperative and postoperative periods. In the comparison between normal and obese participants, CEAP C categories, VCSS, and VAS scores were statistically significantly different in postoperative periods. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of venous reflux preoperatively and postoperatively in all three groups. Conclusions: The study showed that the increase in BMI had negative effects on the CEAP C categories, pain, and quality of life independently of the venous reflux of CVD.
