| Description | Although surgical treatment is widely used for varicose veins, recent publications show thatrecurrence may be expected in 25% to 50% of patients at five years (1-4). Patients require onaverage two weeks away from work following treatment to allow postoperative bruising anddiscomfort to subside. Surgery leaves scars and may result in damage to adjacent structuresincluding nerves, lymphatics, major arteries and veins (5). Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) andpulmonary embolism may also follow surgical treatment for varicose veins (6,7). A desire toreduce such complications has led to the development of alternative treatments which includeradiofrequency obliteration (RF obliteration) (8), endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) (9) andultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS).
