Abstract

Background: Varicose veins could be a complicated condition, which may lead to limb swelling, pain, and venous ulcer. Conservative hemodynamic correction of venous insufficiency (CHIVA) has been developed over the past two decades and is currently the second most common surgical procedure for the operative treatment of varicose veins. Endovenous laser treatment of great saphenous vein was approved by FDA in 2002 and short saphenous vein (SSV) was approved in 2003. Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is a clinically safe, feasible, and well-tolerated technique without scar and allows people to return to their normal daily activities rapidly. Aims And Objectives:  To study the surgical management (great saphenous vein [GSV] stripping and perforator ligation) and its outcome and compare the outcome of GSV stripping in case of saphenofemoral junction incompetence and perforator ligation in case of perforator incompetence with the results of endoscopic and endovenous procedurespublished in the literature. Results: The patients with varicose veins were treated with high ligation with stripping followed by foam sclerotherapy and RFA. None of the patients undergoing high ligation with stripping had DVT and recurrence which favors the procedure selection for management. However, high ligation with stripping was associated with tenderness followed by infection. complications were less prevalent and only two patients had tenderness. Similarly, in radiofrequency ablation (RFA), one patient each had recurrences, skin color changes, and tenderness. None of the patients undergoing HL/S and foam sclerotherapy had recurrences. It was found that the duration of hospital days was more with HL/S; the majority had 6 to 8 days duration of hospital days whereas 13 patients had it for 4 days. In RFA, the majority had a duration of hospital days of 2 to 3 days only. Conclusion: open surgical management remains important in the treatment of varicose veins and is usually preferable to endovenous procedures and associated with less morbidity if carried out correctly.
