“…Auf dieser Höhe sieht man typischerweise auch 2 Lymphknoten, die die V. saphena accessoria anterior umgeben (▶ Abb. 5), oder zumindest einen Lymphknoten zwischen der V. saphena accessoria anterior und der V. saphena magna [8]. Entdeckt man also Lymphknoten zwischen 2 interfaszialen Venen im Leistenbereich, ist die seitliche Vene die V. saphena accessoria anterior und die mediale die V. saphena magna.…”

“…The venous system of lower extremities consists of two distinct circulatory systems, which is anatomically separated by the deep fascia into the epifascial or superficial venous system and subfascial or deep venous system. [ 1 ] The deep veins are usually accompanied along with their arteries and drain the muscles and the bones. In contrast, the superficial veins run subcutaneously draining the muscles and the skin.…”

Background: Teachers, compelled by the nature of their profession, are required to stand for a significant amount of time. This prolonged standing, being one of the risk factors for venous insufficiency, puts them at risk to develop varicose veins. Hence, as there is a need to educate and sensitize the teachers. This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence and awareness regarding varicose veins in school teachers. Methods: A cross sectional, questionnaire based study was carried out on 391 school teachers of the Aseer region, KSA, after obtaining ethical committee clearance and informed consent. Questions included personal, occupational, and varicose vein based questions. Responses were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 software. Frequencies and percentages were calculated. Results: Forty two percent of the teachers were found to have varicose veins most of which were females. Around 62% of the teachers suffering from varicose veins were between 36 and 45 years of age. Participants who did regular exercises were less prone to varicose than irregularly exercising participants ( P = 0.0001). No association was observed between smoking and varicose veins (odds ratio 0.15, 95% confidence interval 0.05–0.44). Conclusion: Due to high prevalence of varicose veins among teachers, it is necessary to spread awareness regarding varicose veins among them and sensitize them with the methods to prevent its formation.

“…The nomenclature of perforator veins categorizes them according to the served anatomical region, but they are also named by the physician who described them. The Cockett 1, 2, and 3 (superior, medium, and inferior) perforator veins are located in the inferior two-thirds of the lower limbs; the Sherman perforating vein includes the upper tibial perforating veins, that connect the posterior arch vein with the posterior tibial veins; the Hunter perforator, also known as the adductor canal perforator, is located in the distal third region of the thigh, however, rarely in the adductor canal; the Dodd perforator is also located in the adductor canal in the mid-thigh region; the Boyd perforator vein, also named the paratibial perforating vein, is located in the initial part of the calf, below the knee joint (11).…”

We sought to assess clinical characteristics and pattern of collateral network involvement associated with development of truncal (systematized) versus diffuse/non-truncal (non-systematized) varicose veins (VVs) in patients undergoing endovascular laser photothermolysis for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Secondly, we aimed to assess whether the type of VVs influenced the procedural complications of endovascular laser therapy. A total of 508 patients with hydrostatic VVs of the lower limbs who underwent endovenous laser treatment were included, out of which 84.1% (n=427) had truncal VVs (group 1) and 15.9% (n=81) had diffuse (non-systematized) VVs (group 2). Patients with truncal varices were significantly older (47.50±12.80 vs 43.15±11.75 years, P=0.004) and those with associated connective tissue disorders were more prone to present diffuse VVs (P=0.004). Patients in group 1 presented a significantly higher number of Cockett 1 (P=0.0017), Cockett 2 (P=0.0137), Sherman (P<0.0001), and Hunter (P=0.0011) perforator veins compared to group 2, who presented a higher incidence of Kosinski perforators (P<0.0001). There were no significant differences regarding postoperative complications: thrombophlebitis (P=0.773), local inflammation (P=0.471), pain (P=0.243), paresthesia (P=1.000), or burning sensation (P=0.632). Patients with more advanced CEAP (clinical, etiologic, anatomic, pathophysiologic) classes were older (P<0.0001), more were males (39.05 vs 27.77%, P=0.0084), more were prone to present ulcers (P<0.0001) and local hyperthermia (P=0.019), and presented for endovenous phlebectomy after a longer time from symptom onset. In patients with CVI, systematized VVs were associated with a more severe clinical status and a distinct anatomical pattern of perforators network compared to non-systematized VVs, which is more common in advanced stages.
