Abstrakt: Different techniques may be considered to eliminate incompetence and reflux, including subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS).[1],[2] Herein we report complications after SEPS due to foreign body reaction to surgical clips. The patient reported stinging pain evoked by walking and palpation, about 10 cm above the left medial peri-malleolar ulcer, where she reported to perceive the presence of metal clips used in previous SEPS procedures. Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a progressive disease and the presence of incompetent perforator veins (IPVs) contributes to its progression. [Extracted from the article]
