Subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery is associated with significantly less morbidity and shorter hospital stay than open operation (Linton's procedure)

Abstract

In patients undergoing calf perforator interruption for chronic venous insufficiency, SEPS is associated with significantly less morbidity and a shorter hospital stay than Linton's procedure. SEPS can be performed safely at the same time as skin grafting and in the presence of an open ulcer without any increase in wound complications.
