The endoscopic no-touch saphenous vein harvesting technique
Keyword(s):
The no-touch saphenous vein harvesting technique is being increasingly used; however, this technique causes more leg wound complications than conventional techniques. Endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting is considered a safe and effective approach for reducing leg complications, despite the fact that experience with this technique remains limited, because leg CO2 insufflation and dissection with a tip cannula to isolate the vein enables the graft to naturally skeletonize. In this video tutorial, we demonstrate our endoscopic no-touch saphenous vein harvesting technique using a reusable saphenous vein retractor system without CO2 insufflation and an electrothermal bipolar vessel sealing device.
