Abstract
Varicose veins of the lower extremity are commonly encountered by vascular surgeons. Historically, the standard treatment of varicose veins has been high ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein. Endovenous ablation techniques have been adopted by many surgeons over the past few years. Techniques of endovenous laser surgery are reviewed, as are the common complications and expected outcomes.
