Summary

Endoscopic subfascial sectioning (ESDP) effectively treats incompetent perforating veins, showing a low recurrence rate and aiding venous ulcer healing. This minimally invasive procedure offers a safe and effective solution for chronic venous insufficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Venous Disease Management

Context:

  • Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) significantly impacts patient quality of life.
  • Incompetent perforating veins are a key factor in CVI progression.
  • Surgical interruption of these veins is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Endoscopic Subfascial Division of Perforators (ESDP).
  • To assess the recurrence rate of incompetent perforating veins after ESDP.
  • To determine the impact of ESDP on venous ulcer healing.

Summary:

  • ESDP was performed on 35 legs in 27 patients, often combined with Babcock's operation.
  • The majority of patients had CVI stage II or III, with 9 patients presenting venous ulcers.

  • Low complication rates were observed, with only minor wound healing issues and hematomas.
  • Follow-up at 8 months showed a 4% recurrence rate of insufficient perforating veins.
  • Saphenous nerve dysesthesia occurred in 6 legs; 8 of 9 venous ulcers healed.

    • Impact:

    • ESDP demonstrates a high success rate in interrupting incompetent perforating veins.
    • The procedure is associated with minimal intraoperative and manageable postoperative complications.
    • ESDP contributes to significant improvement in venous ulcer healing.
    • This technique offers a valuable, minimally invasive option for CVI management.
