Abstract
A new approach for removal of the short saphenous vein as transplant is described. Whereas it is otherwise removed from lateral-dorsal as in varix strip ping, the vein can be found rapidly and certainly as in exposure of the terminal popliteal portion subfascially from the medial direction with displacement of the gastrocnemius musculature.
