Abstract:
New modalities of treatment for primary varicose veins are being increasingly used. This is because traditional stripping and sapheno-femoral junction ligation is requires a general anaesthetic and is associated with postoperative pain and bruising. This article aims to address the evidence and long-term follow up of the new surgical techniques and compare them to traditional sapheno-femoral ligation.
