3. Fig 2
Comparison photographs of leg incisions. (A) Incision made to harvest the greater saphenous vein from the groin to the proximal calf using the traditional open harvest technique. (B) Incision made to harvest the greater saphenous vein from the groin to midcalf using the endoscopic technique. Each photograph was taken on postoperative day 5.
