%X In spite of medical science development and initiation of new technologies in minimally invasive surgery, treatmentof advanced chronic venous insufficiency at the 5th and 6th degree of CEAP classification is still a great clinical challenge.In case of no satisfactory results of non-surgical treatment of recurrent venous ulcers, scientists search for alternativetherapeutic methods which could be more effective and lasting. Subfascial endoscopic perforator vein surgery(SEPS) as a method of reducing venous pressure in the superficial venous system could provide healing of the recurrentvenous ulcer. In this study we present a review of contemporary opinions about the place and significance of subfascialendoscopic perforator vein surgery as a treatment of advanced chronic venous insufficiency.
