title: Subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery: a review.
abstract: Approximately 1-2% of the UK population suffers from venous ulcers. Incompetent perforator leg veins are thought to be a major contributory factor. Subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery treats incompetent perforators in a minimally invasive fashion with significant improvement in wound healing and reduction in ulcer recurrence rates.
