Abstract
Saphenous vein ligation and stripping was performed on 27 patients in the immediate postpartum period without complications. Doing the operation at this time saves time and money. Technically it is easier to do postpartum than during pregnancy, and the patients have less postoperative discomfort than is usual with phlebectomy at other times.
