Many techniques of GSV stripping have been described. However, very few hospitals in developing countries are equipped with a vein stripper. Method and result: We describe the use of nasogastric tube in the stripping of GSV. This simple technique has been successfully applied in three patients. Conclusion: There is a need to carry out a prospective study regarding the application of this technique of GSV stripping.enGreat saphenous veincrossectomyvein strippernasogastric tube.Article
