Chronic venous diseases (CVD) are examined in this review from the perspective of the continuity of the venous system of the lower extremities and pelvis. The review emphasizes the most clinically significant manifestations of venous insufficiency in the lower extremities, pelvic veins, and varicose veins of the scrotum and hemorrhoids. Due to the unity of pathogenesis and similarity of symptoms of venous stasis in different locations, the review stresses the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing this category of patients. Assessing venous symptoms in the presence of comorbidities such as osteoarthritis, diabetes mellitus, and arteriosclerosis obliterans of the lower extremities is one of the most essential clinical tasks facing a phlebologist. At the same time, the modern trend in the treatment of CVD, regardless of the anatomical location, is endovenous and minimally invasive technologies that combine surgical radicalism with minimally invasive interventions. This review is based on analyzing published materials in the three most common electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE. The primary search query strategy included the following keywords: chronic venous disease, venous insufficiency, pelvic venous disorders, hemorrhoidal disease, and varicocele.
Keywords: Chronic venous diseases, varicose veins of the lower extremities, pelvic vein diseases, varicocele, hemorrhoids.
