Abstract :

BACKGROUND – The various modes of termination of the small saphenous vein is important to prevent recurrent varicose veins in humans. AIM – To study the course and different modes of termination of the small saphenous vein in both the sexes. METHOD – 60 formalin hardened lower limbs from both sexes were dissected and the entire course of small saphenous vein including its termination were noted and classified according to Kosinski classification. CONCLUSION – The most common mode of termination of small saphenous vein was found to be into the popliteal vein irrespective of sex. However, other modes of termination were also seen. This knowledge is important for surgeons to prevent recurrent varicose veins following surgery
