Comparison of Routine Preoperative Doppler Marking of Incompetent Perforators and Sapheno Popliteal Junction with Standard T Technique
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2025, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The study compares the two methods to determine which more accurately locates perforators, as confirmed by intraoperative findings. We included a prospective study with 50 consecutive patients who underwent varicose vein surgery in 2023 and 2024 for preoperative marking. The “T” approach uses Doppler marking to identify an inadequate perforator. The long limb of the T represents the superficial vein’s path, and the junction of the T indicates the perforator’s entry point into the deep fascia. Surgical correlation was done. The “T” method of Doppler marking proved to be simple to use and beneficial for intraoperative identification. In addition, it facilitated a more precise surgical approach, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced recurrence rates. Overall, the findings suggest that the “T” method may be a valuable tool in the preoperative assessment of varicose vein patients.
