Abstract: Profundoplasty has been established as a standard operative method in the 60s of XX century. This article takes under consideration its present significance, the preoperative diagnostic procedures and applying profundoplasty without reconstructive operations of the SFA to improve the blood supply of the limb. Combining the profundopalsty with lumbar sympathectomy strengthens and even improves the outcome. One of the reasons for the better result is the satisfying artery filling from the pelvis arteries as well as the unobstructed blood drainage through the tibial arteries.

Keywords: Profundoplasty, lower limb, Lumbar sympathectomy
