High tie and stripping of long saphenous vein

This short animated explainer video talks about the operation of stripping of the long saphenous vein. It is also known as sapheno-femoral ligation and stripping of the long saphenous vein. This procedure is done most commonly under general anaesthesia but can be done under spinal anaesthesia as well. The long saphenous vein is more recently been re-named as the Great Saphenous vein.
