Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Phlebology

Context:

  • Perforating veins connect superficial and deep venous systems.
  • Incompetent perforating veins contribute to venous insufficiency and ulceration.

Purpose:

  • To describe a minimally invasive technique for excising perforating veins.
  • To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of this procedure.

Summary:

  • The procedure involves a small incision (10-15 mm) under local anesthesia.
  • Superficial veins and perforators are excised, with bleeding controlled by digital compression.
  • Wound closure uses strips, followed by a compression bandage; sutures are not required.

Impact:

  • Adverse effects are rare and mild, with minimal scarring.

  • The technique is quick, taking only a few minutes.
  • Long-term results are satisfactory, comparable to more radical procedures, making it suitable for daily phlebological practice.
