Abstract
Surgical treatment of incompetent perforating veins of the lower leg performed by open method carries considerable morbidity and also associated with poor wound healing. Subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) is a new, minimally invasive endoscopic technique performed in patients with advanced chronic venous insufficiency. This technique offers an effective treatment alternative which avoids the lengthy incisions of the classical open Linton subfascial ligation techniques. The favorable ulcer healing rate and improvement in clinical symptoms suggest that SEPS is a feasible, safe and effective treatment of the incompetent perforator veins in patients with advanced chronic venous insufficiency.
