A Study on Surface Anatomy of Saphenous Opening among Tamilnadu Population

The Saphenous Opening is an important landmark in the groin region, being a defect in the fascia lata through which many superficial structures enter the deeper plane. The Greater Saphenous vein terminates to the femoral vein through this opening. There are five tributaries that joins the GSV before the GSV joins the Femoral Vein namely the superficial epigastric vein, the circumflex iliac vein, the superficial external pudendal vein, the deep external pudendal vein and the anterior accessory GSV.
