Abstract.

We report our preliminary experience with a new surgical endoscopic technique, the Transilluminated Powered Phlebectomy (TriVex™ System, Smith+Nephew) to remove varicose veins. TriVex™ System combined an irrigated illuminator device and a powered vein resector. There were 15 patients with a mean age of 50 years, nine were women and six were men. We evaluated prospectively the safety, efficacy and clinical benefits of this new surgical device.
