In this procedure, the provider makes multiple incisions over the affected areas of the thigh and along the long saphenous vein, and he ligates, or ties off, and divides, or separates, the diseased vein at the point where the saphenous and femoral veins meet and along the upper leg as necessary. He performs this procedure most commonly to treat varicose veins.
