What procedure involves the disconnection of perforating veins by various means?

The concept of disconnecting perforating veins is most accurately described by the term perforating vein interruption. This procedure involves techniques that aim to stop the abnormal flow of blood in perforators, which are veins that connect the superficial venous system to the deep venous system. Interruption can be achieved through various methods, including surgical techniques or minimally invasive approaches.

Perforating vein ligation specifically refers to tying off these veins, while perforating vein ablation focuses on using thermal or chemical methods to destroy vein tissue. Mini-phlebectomy involves the removal of surface veins through small incisions, which is distinct from disconnecting the perforators. Therefore, the best fit for the procedure that emphasizes disconnection is perforating vein interruption.
