AbstractSeveral recent advances in the treatment of varicose veins have improved the safety, efficacy, comfort, efficiency, and long-term success of therapy. The advances of ambulatory phlebectomy, foam sclerotherapy, endovascular laser, and radiofrequency ablation with closure have made a significant positive impact on patient satisfaction. Duration of treatment and recovery is shorter, discomfort is minimized, and results are generally excellent. Studies assessing long-term outcomes are ongoing, and treatment modalities are continuing to evolve.
