Abstract

Ligation of perforator veins in the lower extremity for the treatment of venous ulceration can be performed using a minimally invasive technique with endoscopic instruments. Several studies have documented that the endoscopic technique has a lower wound-related complication rate compared to open perforator vein ligation. We report the complication of postoperative subfascial hemorrhage requiring reexploration after subfascial endoscopic perforator vein ligation and describe a minimally invasive method for its control using balloon tamponade.
