The present invention provides systems and methods for minimally invasive endoscopic surgical procedures. In certain embodiments, the surgical procedures include harvesting of a deep basilic or cephalic vein for creation of a brachial-basilic or brachial-cephalic AV fistula, with simultaneous transpositioning, harvesting of a deep basilic or cephalic vein for transposition of an existing brachial-basilic or brachial-cephalic AV fistula, and ligating and excising an aneurysmal radial-cephalic, brachial-cephalic, or brachial-basilic AV fistula from the upper or lower arm.
