Saphenopopliteal junction disconnection with multiple varicose vein ligations

What is Saphenopopliteal Disconnection & Multiple Ligation?

This procedure involves:

• Saphenopopliteal Disconnection: The surgical separation of the small saphenous vein from the popliteal vein to prevent venous reflux (backward blood flow).
• Multiple Ligation: The tying off of abnormal or dilated veins to improve blood circulation and reduce symptoms.

This procedure is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Pain, swelling, or heaviness in the legs due to varicose veins.
• Chronic venous insufficiency causing discomfort and skin changes.
• Recurrent varicose veins that do not respond to conservative treatments.
• Ulcers or complications from poor venous circulation.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• The surgery is performed under general or spinal anesthesia.
• A small incision is made behind the knee to access and disconnect the saphenopopliteal junction.
• Multiple abnormal veins are ligated (tied off) to prevent further venous reflux.
• The procedure is minimally invasive, and most patients recover within a few days with proper post-operative care.
