چکیده
Background Great saphenous vein (GSV) reflux is an important component of the pathophysiology of primary venous insufficiency. For nearly a century vein saphenous stripping has remained the standard surgical therapy with the recurrence rates from 20% to 80%. Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) is an alternative and minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of saphenous vein incompetence. This procedure is designed to ablate GSV as a percutaneous approach to minimize the complications and discomfort associated with surgical stripping. We have performed the procedure at the Operative Unit of Vascular Surgery – General Hospital of Reggio Calabria, had compared the traditional surgery with EVLT in the management of the saphenous reflux.
