Abstract

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to study treatment outcome of endovascular procedures & in varicose veins patients treated with surgery. Patients were kept in nil per oral for a minimum of 8 hours prior to surgery. Both sets of patients underwent surgery under spinal anaesthesia. Surgery was carried out by an experienced surgical team, which included the investigator, guides and the co - investigators. Results: The postoperative VCSS scores 2 month were compared within the two groups, which gave the P value of 0.277, which were all statistically insignificant, which implies there is no statistical significance in comparing the two techniques. Conclusion: The efficacy and safety of endovenous laser procedure treatment of varicose veins, compared with conventional surgery, have been well demonstrated in a number of studies. But none have showed clinical significance for the same. In our study we have found that patients undergoing Radio Frequency Ablation fared slightly better clinically than the ones undergoing conventional surgery but results were statistically insignificant.
