[Surgical anatomy of the popliteal fossa].

This communication provides accurate details of the surface anatomy of the popliteal space (french and latin nomenclature). The author describes the muscular reference points, and the relationships between arteries, veins and the internal and external popliteal sciatic nerve. This region has a variety of pathologies: dilatation of the venae comites, of the sapheno-popliteal junction, doubling of the femoral and femoro-popliteal, with aneurysmal dilatation; abnormal veins (popliteal space vein), aneurysm of the popliteal vein; multiple compression due to arterial and nerve structures.

[Aneurysm of the popliteal vein].

The authors present a saccular aneurysm of the popliteal vein. The clinical findings, the diagnosis and the operative treatment are described. The authors suggest a possible etiology for the genesis of the aneurysm. Literature is reviewed.

[Importance of the external saphenous vein in pathology].

Incompetence of the internal saphenous crook is not unconditionally the cause of varices. Most frequently the dilatations begin in the calf and climb progressively towards the thigh thereby dilatating the internal saphenous vein. This is explained by the quite unique nature of the anatomy of the popliteal fossa and its relationship with its vascular and nervous content. The sciatic popliteal nerve, the external and paired saphenous veins often present structural and anatomical variations. The deep range of these veins is often badly understood and explains the lack of success after stripping, staged resection or surgical sclerosis.

[The muscular pump of the calf. Video-phlebography and simultaneous EMG].

Gastrocnemical insufficiency is a common syndrome (in modern society mainly affecting young females who have been taking the pill for several years). Often it is the starting point for superficial varicosis. The clinical diagnosis is easy, provided the doctor is informed of its symptoms. Phlebography or Duplex scan are compulsory, deciding surgical treatment. Varicose muscular veins have two different causes: avalvulation at the popliteal vein or compression by the Post. Tib. nerve. Persistent pain, deterioration of the superficial network or neuromyositis are the main reasons for deciding upon surgical treatment. The results are gratifying and lasting.
