The current surgical treatments for varicose veins include traditional stripping and various minimally invasive surgical treatments such as laser endovenous closure, radiofrequency endovenous closure, and Trevix transillumination aspiration. Traditional stripping requires incision in the varicose veins of the patient’s lower extremities to remove the superficial varicose veins, which is relatively more invasive and slower to recover. At present, there are various improved surgical methods of stripping, including point stripping and small incision stripping of localized superficial varicose veins, and the surgical incision is significantly smaller than that of the traditional method. The long-term results of the various minimally invasive procedures are essentially comparable to those of traditional surgery, but with significantly less trauma, faster postoperative recovery, and shorter hospital stays. The principles of laser and radiofrequency treatment of varicose veins are both based on the use of various high energy sources to close the superficial varicose veins from within the lumen for treatment purposes.
