  • Title: Operation for recurrent saphenofemoral incompetence using a medial approach to the saphenofemoral junction.
    Author: Greaney MG, Makin GS.
    Journal: Br J Surg; 1985 Nov; 72(11):910-1. PubMed ID: 4063764.
    Abstract:
    Forty-seven patients (53 limbs) with recurrent saphenofemoral incompetence and varicose veins underwent re-ligation of the saphenofemoral junction using a medial approach to the femoral vein. Twenty-seven patients (31 re-ligation procedures) were available for assessment at long-term follow-up (mean 30.4 months). Saphenofemoral incompetence was demonstrated in five limbs (16.1 per cent). The operative procedure is described and the alternatives discussed. This is a valuable procedure in the repertoire of the surgeon who has to treat recurrent varicose veins.
