[The anterior saphenous veins of the thigh].
The authors base their argument on a homogeneous series of 75 patients who, in the course of crossectomies and the stripping of the long saphenousvein carried out by the authors, were given a puncture-phlebectomy of the accessory anterior saphenous vein or veins. Firstly they analyse the clinical characteristics of the incompetence of these veins in the 75 patients. Then, in the discussion, they carry out a closer study of the anterior saphenous veins in the thigh, which have their own anatomical, physiopathological, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics. Without mistaking the role of complementary sclerosis in these cases, they affirm that reliable results are more difficult to obtain with this sort of vein and they suggest peroperative puncture phlebectomy as the results of this seem very encouraging.
