To standardise the preoperative marking of incompetent perforators and saphenopopliteal junction on Doppler with evaluation of “T” technique. A prospective study including 54 consecutive patients (61 lower limbs) who underwent surgery for varicose veins in 2003 and 2004 were included for preoperative marking. “T” technique is a technique of Doppler marking of an incompetent perforator, long limb of the T representing the course of the superficial vein and the junction of the T representing the site of perforator entering the deep fascia. Surgical correlation was done. The overall surgical detection rate of incompetent perforators was 199 / 220(90.5%); detection of the saphenopopliteal junction was 100%. The “T” technique of Doppler marking was found to be easy to perform and aided intraoperative detection.
