Saphenous

Laser Procedures Studies have shown that minimally invasive endovenous laser procedures that use local anesthesia are highly effective for removing the so-called saphenous veins — a large one that runs from the foot to the thigh and a smaller one up the back of the leg behind the knee — and have a high rate of success over time. ❋ Laura Landro (2010)

The so-called saphenous opening, therefore, is naturally masked by the superficial fascia; and this membrane being here perforated for the passage of the saphena vein, and its tributary branches, as also the efferent vessels of the lymphatic glands, is termed "cribriform." ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)

From the foregoing remarks it will appear that no such aperture as that which is named "saphenous," and described as being shaped in the manner of L h, Pl. 28, with its "upper and lower cornua," and its "falciform process," or edge, h, exists naturally. ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)

It appeared to the doctor that shrapnel had lacerated the skippers greater saphenous vein, a large vein located just beneath the skin that runs the length of the leg and thigh. ❋ James Scott (2009)

Typically, the procedure completely seals the great saphenous vein, a large vein that runs down the inside of the leg. ❋ Unknown (2008)

After ligation of the right coronary artery, bypass grafting with a saphenous vein was performed. ❋ Unknown (2005)

In Alabama, officials at one point said they would execute an inmate who had compromised veins by placing an IV in the saphenous vein in his arm; that vein is actually in the leg. ❋ Unknown (2007)

And then we can take veins, the saphenous veins, from the thigh, which are about the right size, and you can do without those. ❋ Unknown (2001)

One of the surgical assistants will then remove either the saphenous vein from your leg or your mammary artery to begin the graft. ❋ Elizabeth Ross (1996)

In many cases of superficial tracks with division of such nerves as the long or short saphenous, the early development of bulbs in the course of the trunks gave positive information, and these were often observed. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

Complete peroneal motor paralysis and anæsthesia, except in the hinder part of the region supplied by the mixed external saphenous. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

As cicatrisation progressed, the anæsthesia became more marked and was complete over the whole of the external saphenous area. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

Ligation of the saphenous vein at two points, one above and the other below the distended ligamentous capsule, is an old operation, which has undoubtedly given good results in some cases, although it does not seem to be a rational procedure. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

The anterior crural nerve, P, dividing on the outer side of the artery, sends some of its branches coursing over the femoral sheath; and one of these -- the long saphenous nerve -- enters the sheath and follows the artery as far as the opening in the great adductor tendon. ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)

The leg was normal except for slight enlargement of the internal saphenous vein and its branches, probably independent of the arterial lesion. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

On the other hand, anæsthesia or hyperæsthesia in the area of distribution of the lumbar nerves in the groin, the external cutaneous and the long saphenous in the thigh, were not uncommon. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

Hyperæsthesia in area of distribution of small saphenous and small sciatic nerves, which rapidly improved. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

The small sciatic was occasionally injured in its course in the buttock, and the small saphenous in the leg. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

He [cut] his saphenous [vein]. ❋ Ruckus V Town (2013)
