Interventions

PROCEDURE

stripping of great saphenous vein

I will make 2 or 3 small cuts in your leg. The cuts are near the top, middle, and bottom of your damaged vein. One is in your groin. The other will be farther down your leg, either in your calf or ankle. I will then thread a thin, flexible plastic wire into the vein through your groin and guide the wire through the vein toward the other cut farther down your leg. The wire is then tied to the vein and pulled out through the lower cut, which pulls the vein out with it. I will close the cuts with stitches. Patient will wear bandages and compression stockings on leg after the procedure.
