Subfascial Endoscopic Perforator Surgery: A Comparison With Linton’s Technique of Open Ligation of Perforators
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Varicose veins are a common problem in patients presenting to our outpatient department. This study was undertaken to compare the results of Subfascial Endoscopic Perforator Surgery i.e., endoscopic l-iga tion of incompetent perforators, with the more popular Linton’s open procedure. Ten patients with perforator -insuffi ciency were taken up for surgery by S.E.P.S. and ten patients by Linton’s procedure. The operating time, intra-operative blood loss, hospital stay, early and delayed complications, recurrence, time taken to resume normal activities, and- pa tient satisfaction were recorded. The patients were followed up at 1, 2, 4 & 6 months after surgery. All of the variables showed significant superiority of SEPS over Linton’s procedure, except for operating time, which was higher for SEPS, though it decreased over the period of study. As with all endoscopic procedures, SEPS has a longer learning curve as compared to the open technique.
