For most doctors, sclerotherapy appears to be a very simple method that requires neither experience nor any special knowledge. The apparent simplicity tempts many not to waste time on theoretical training but immediately start doing the procedure to make extra money (after watching a couple of videos on YouTube). This approach is the direct way to discredit one's good name. Sclerotherapy is a complicated method with a whole abyss of pitfalls and nuances.

The author himself once began to master sclerotherapy "from scratch," hurting the legs of patients and biting his lips when complications developed. All this could have been easily avoided if a simple step-by-step guide had been available, describing not only the technology but also the mistakes, complications, and ways to prevent them.

This book results from the generalization of many years of experience in sclerotherapy. The author tried to move away from the scientific dry presentation of information and wrote it in a somewhat unconventional style for medical literature, bringing the presentation as close as possible to the stylistics of modern business literature. At the same time, the book is saturated with illustrations and clinical examples, sometimes tragic, that allow us not only to understand but also feel what sclerotherapy is.

The book was conceived specifically for those doctors making their first steps in sclerotherapy. However, the author would be doubly pleased if even veteran phlebologists find something useful for themselves.
