| | Surgical treatment of varicose veins |
 | | It should be noted that stripping the short saphenous vein is associated with a high incidence of sural nerve injury. | | | The recently developed technique of subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) has allowed perforating veins to be divided effectively with minimal morbidity through a small incision. | | | Closure of the long saphenous vein with endoluminal radio-frequency thermal heating of the vein wall in combination with phlebectomy, has been shown to be feasible, safe and effective at limited follow-up. |

| | Each lower limb has three anatomically and functionally distinguishable sets of veins viz |
| | The small saphenous vein is formed on the dorsum of the foot by the union of lateral end of the dorsal venous arch with the lateral marginal vein. | | | The constant position of the great saphenous vein in front of the medial malleolus should be remembered for patients requiring emergency blood transfusion. | | | This condition commonly occurs in the superficial veins of the lower limb, and although not a fatal disease, it is responsible for considerable discomfort, pain and suffering in innumerable persons. |

| | SMALL SAPHENOUS VEIN: (sometimes called SSV, Lesser Saphenous Vein, or LSV) A superficial vein that starts at the outside of the foot and travels up the back of the calf where it empties into the deep vein (popliteal vein) in the crease of the knee. | | | SPIDER VEIN: A tiny varicose vein that may be blue or red color that does not protrude above the skin surface and frequently looks like a spider. | | | INCOMPETENT VEIN: Blood flows in the wrong direction. |

| | EndoVenous Laser Ablation |
| | Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is a treatment alternative to surgical stripping of the greater saphenous vein. | | | A small laser fiber is inserted, usually through a needle stick in the skin, into the damaged vein. | | | EVLA was originally used to treat Saphenofemoral Junction (SFJ) reflux, a condition in which the Great Saphenous Vein carries blood backward down the leg due to a damaged valve where it attaches to the Femoral Vein in the groin. |

| | Re: What about the vein in coronary by-pass surgery? |
| | The great saphenous vein runs from the foot, up the medial aspect of the leg to join the femoral vein in the groin whereas the small saphenous vein runs up the back of the calf to communicate with the deep venous system at the back of the knee. | | | Both the great and small saphenous veins are of the superficial one. | | | Previously, people tend to use segments of healthy autologous saphenous vein (a superficial vein in the leg) for bypass, but nowadays people tend to use the internal mammary artery or one of the epigastric arteries for this operation. |
