Abstract:
Using a systematic review process, we identified 15 randomised controlled trials comparing either of the two endovenous thermal techniques, radiofrequency or laser ablation, with conventional open surgery for great saphenous varicose veins. The majority of trials were small and had short-term follow-up only. In general, we found no difference in reflux or recurrences in the short term. Endovenously treated patients seemed to be on sick leave for a shorter period of time than patients having undergone open surgery.
