Abstract
The patient is placed supine on the operating table. The arms are placed at 80°. Normal bony prominences are padded. After placement of the appropriate line and induction of anesthesia, a Foley catheter is placed under sterile technique. The patient’s lower abdomen and both lower extremities are circumferentially prepped and draped. The great saphenous vein has been assessed preoperatively by duplex ultrasound and its location mapped with ink. Preoperative antibiotics are administered prior to skin incision.
