The author describes the case-history of an injury of the common femoral and external pelvic vein. He describes the method of replacement of the loss using an autovenous graft formed from the trunk of the vena saphena magna which was split longitudinally and then sutured in a spiral fashion. The applied reconstruction method can be evaluated as reliable, technically feasible. The reconstruction is patent after two years and the affected extremity bears no signs of venostasis.
