Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does saphenous surgery correct perforator incompetence in the presence of deep venous reflux?
Answer: Eradication of main stem saphenous reflux corrects IPV reflux in most cases in which reflux is confined to the superficial system. However, in patients with superficial reflux that persists postoperatively, or when there is coexistent deep venous reflux, saphenous surgery alone fails to correct IPVs reflux. In these circumstances, the only way of reliably correcting pathologic outward flow in medial calf perforating veins is to perform SEPS.
Output (English): no
