Autologous saphenous vein wrap technique for peripheral nerve compression. ( A ) Incisional markings and superficial veins are outlined. ( B ) The peripherally compressed nerve is dissected and exposed. ( C ) The saphenous vein is harvested and transected longitudinally. ( D ) The saphenous vein graft is circumferentially wrapped around the peripherally compressed nerve. ( E ) The graft should be wrapped loosely around the nerve as appears from placement of the forceps between the nerve and vein wrap. (Reproduced with permission from Dy et al. ⁹⁶ )
