[Esthetics in the surgery of varices, especially in the region of the groin].
When dealing with the sapheno-femoral junction, the surgeon has a choice of three possible types of incision: the sub-inguinal incision often results in a badly placed ligature and unaesthetic scarring. The incision in the inguinal hollow allows line scars on thin subjects. The supra-inguinal or high incision allows immediate cicatrization in all subjects. The public hair hides all traces of the scar in this region, significant for aesthetics in phlebology.
