Objective To sum up clinical experience on subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) for the treatment of severe chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) of the lower extremities. Methods Fifty-one patients (64 limbs) with severe CVI received SEPS from Nov. 1999 to Aug.2002. CEAP classification, scoring of venous dysfunction (SVD), Color Doppler, Color Doppler velocity profile (CDVP), venography and air plethysmography (APG) were applied to assess the status of the affected limbs before and after operation. Results The postoperative follow-up was made from 3 to 35 months with the follow-up rate of 90.6% (58/64 limbs). No limbs suffered from recurrent superficial varicose. Venous ulcer was healed in 40 limbs (97.6%) and the ulcer ameliorated significantly in one limb. Ulcer healing time ranged from 9 to 91 days with the average time of (32?5) days.
