[Surgical anatomy of the saphenous vein over the length of the leg and a technic for phlebectomy].

A thorough preparation of the superficial veins of the leg posterior surface in 250 operations upon the patients with primary varicosity of the veins and with postthrombophlebitic syndrome of the lower extremities permitted the author to describe the main individual varieties of surgical anatomy of the small subcutaneous vein, its anastomoses and to develop a new method of the layer-by-layer phlebectomy.
