[External saphenectomy. Postero-lateral approach to the arch]
Summary
This study presents a novel external saphenectomy technique. It allows for simultaneous internal saphenectomy using local anesthesia and a specific surgical approach.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Surgical Techniques
Context:
- Saphenous vein surgery is a common procedure.
- Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly preferred.
Purpose:
- To describe a modified external saphenectomy technique.
- To enable concurrent internal saphenectomy during the same operation.
Summary:
- The technique involves patient positioning in dorsal decubitus.
- It utilizes local anesthesia for patient comfort.
- A postero-lateral approach is used for the external saphenous vein arch.
Impact:
- Offers a potentially more efficient surgical option.
- May reduce overall operating time and patient recovery.
- Provides an alternative for complex saphenous vein interventions.
