Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Veins of lower limbs are more involves for various venous disorders as compare to upper limbs. Most common venous disorders occurring in lower limbs are varicose veins, deep venous thrombosis and venous ulcers. Varicose veins are found in large population of world affecting both the males and females. Surgical operations are performed in all over the world to cure it. In the varicose vein surgery, surgeon successfully do the ligation as well as stripping of the great saphenous vein and its tributaries. Duplication of a great saphenous vein can be a potential cause for recurrent varicose veins after surgery as well as complications may occur during the surgery. Method: The present study was done by dissection method on 50 lower limbs of cadavers. Its aim was to identify the incidence and pattern of duplication of long saphenous vein in Indian population. The dissection was done as per Cunningham's manual of practical anatomy and the incidence of duplication of great saphenous vein was noted. Result: Duplications of great saphenous veins were seen in thigh region of 10 lower limbs. In the leg the course of veins were found within normal limit. Conclusion: Duplication of veins is one of the most common reason behind recurrence of varicose veins and makes the surgical procedure complicated. The duplicated great saphenous vein also used for the extraction of procedures i.e coronary artery bypass graft and cerebrovascular disorders. Therefore this study would serve a great hope for surgeons and clinicians.
