Technique of varicose vein surgery.
A technique for varicose vein surgery is described which allows maximum removal of varicose veins and the trunks draining into them. Hemostasis by means of tantalum clips allows for distal ligation of branches beyond their bifurcations in sites of difficult access. This results in minimal blood loss and enables subdivision of collateral veins to prevent recurrence of varicosities.
