[Excision of perforating veins].
Excision of perforating veins is performed under local anesthesia and approached through a 10 to 15 mm incision. The superficial vein and the perforator are prepared and excised with scissors. Digital compression instead of ligatures is applied to arrest bleeding. No sutures, but wound closure strips. A strong compression bandage is then applied. Adverse effects are rare and not severe. The resulting scars are bare noticeable. Long term results are satisfactory compared with other radical procedures. The operation only takes a few minutes and is also recommended in daily phlebological practice.
