Abstract :Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare the short-term wound healing results of the endoscopic vein preparation technique with the classical open vein preparation technique. Study design: Between January 2020 and January 2024, 628 patients undergone multiple coronary bypass surgery were included the study. Results: In this study 231 of whom underwent EVH and 399 of whom underwent OVH. In the EVH group M/F was 177/54, mean. Age was 61.06±10.2 years; range was 36-86 years, in OVH group M/F was 291/108, mean. age was: 62.4±9.57 years; range was 30 to 87 years. DM rate was higher and statistically significant in the EVH group (p=0,040) There was no difference between the two groups in terms of wound infection.(p=0,278) Non The rate of discharge with infection was 231/8 (3.5%) in the EVH group and 399/74 (18.5%) in the OVH group. (p<0,001). The rate of skin necrosis was 231/0(0%) in EVH and 399/49(12.3%) in OVH (p<0,001). Dehiscence rate was 231/4(1.7%) in EVH and 399/105(26.3%) in OVH (p<0,001). Revision frequency was 231/17(7.4%) in EVH and 399/103(25.8%) in OVH (p<0,001). Conclusion: We consider EVH is one of the best solutions for the problem of leg wound healing in diabetic patients.
