Branches of the Long Saphenous Vein

6 tributaries off the long saphenous at the sapheno-femoral junction.
- important clinically when ligating and stripping the long saphenous for varicose veins
- also need to know and likely ligate when doing a superficial groin LND

2 circumflex femoral veins (medial and lateral)
2 circumflex iliac veins (superficial and deep)
superficial inferior epigastric
external pudendal
