Abstract

Background: Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA)and radiofrequency ablation(RFA)are both associated with excellent technical, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes for the treatment of varicose veins. Aim: to compare endovenous laser ablation and radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of primary long saphenous varicose veins. Patients and Method: 40 patients scheduled for treatment of varicose veins were included and were divided randomly into 2 equal groups. Endovenous laser ablation was used for the first group and compared to a second group treated with Radiofrequency ablation. The success rate and postoperative results of both groups were compared to each other. Results: closure rate in EVLA group was 100% and in RFA group was 80%, radiofrequency ablation, and EVLA complications: skin burn 5% and 0 %, hyperpigmentation 10% and 0 %, and groin hematoma 0% and 5% respectively. Conclusion: EVLA procedure seems to be superior to RFA in the treatment of long saphenous varicose veins.
