Summary:We used to utilize the Linton procedure by directly approaching the abnormal skin of lipodermatosclerosis and ligating the incompentent perforating veins at the subfascial space in patients suffering from stasis syndrome, such as pigmentation or ulcer. However we often experienced postoperative wound complications when approaching abnormal skin directly. We have utilized the SEPS procedure since 1999. During this time, we were able to reduce such complications and many patients have experienced improvements in their abnormal skin. We explain the SEPS procedure based upon a case that we experienced.
