Summary:[...]the article by Sahoo et al. proposing subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) for treating varicose veins during 2nd trimester of pregnancy[1] needs a fresh look to assess whether this surgery is sensible during pregnancy. The authors could not document any earlier instance of the use of surgical methods for the treatment of varicose veins in the leg during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the primary concern is safety for the woman and the unborn child; treatment of varicose veins is not advised in the pregnant women.
