Abstract
A surgical procedure that can be used either as an alternative to saphenous vein stripping or as a supplement to it has been developed and used successfully at the Straith Clinic for the past 12 years. The method avoids surgical scars and pigmentation, is simple enough to do with use of local anesthesia, and does not require hospitalization. That the patient can remain ambulatory is another desirable feature. Follow-up of 16 patients who have undergone this procedure has been very encouraging.
