Minimally invasive vein harvesting (MIVH) has been developed in order to reduce the wound healing complications and the related cost. Therefore, the operative cost of endoscopic harvesting remains higher in comparison with the open harvesting. We describe a laryngoscope-assisted technique of saphenous vein harvesting, performing a few small skin incisions and with minimum additional cost. We have used our technique in 20 patients up to now without infection or other wound-related complications and with good cosmetic results.
