Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of the Contensive Taping technique on the control of edema of patients submitted to Phleboextraction Surgery including Saphenectomy.

Detailed Description

Edema is a common complication after stripping surgery, so measures that can help the resolution of the condition are important for the recovery in the post operative. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of the Contensive Taping technique on the control of edema of patients submitted to phleboextraction surgery including saphenectomy. Therefore, 60 patients of both sexes will be invited to participate in the study, undergoing saphenectomy surgery, divided into two homogeneous groups, determined by the sample calculation. The intervention group (IG) will be composed of patients undergoing phleboextraction with saphenectomy and intervention with contensive taping, in intraoperative period associated with compression with elastic stockings. The control group (CG) will be composed of patients undergoing the same surgical procedure, and standard treatment consisting only of compression by elastic stockings. The procedures for evaluation will be applied before and after seven days of therapeutic intervention. For data analysis, the normality test will be performed and distribution, in addition to a suitable statistical test for the appropriate intra and intergroups, with a significance level of 5%.
