AB  - This  text  conforms  to  an  international  standard  nomenclature  known  as  the  Venous  Consensus  Conference  Classification  that  last  met  in  1994.1  Updated  nomenclature  was  adopted  in  2002  by  an  International  Interdisciplinary  Consensus  committee  and  further  elaborated  upon  in  2005.2,3  In  keeping  with  the  updated  nomenclature,  the  term  “great  saphenous  vein”  (GSV)  will  be  used  for  the  vessel  previously  referred  to  as  the  “greater  saphenous  vein”  or  “long  saphenous  vein.”  The  term  “small  saphenous  vein”  (SSV)  will  be  used  for  the  vessel  previously  referred  to  as  the  “lesser  saphenous  vein”  (LSV)  or  sometimes  referred  to  in  recent  texts  as  the  “short  saphenous  vein.”  The  previous  use  of  LSV  was  often  a  source  of  confusion  with  the  lateral  venous  system  (LVS)  described  later.  Veins  that  penetrate  the  fascia  and  connect  together  the  deep  and  superficial  systems  are  termed  perforator  veins.  Many  perforating  veins  have  had  recent  name  changes  to  reflect  anatomic  position  rather  than  the  physician  originally  describing  them.
