Patients and methods:This randomized prospective study includes 50 patients with primary varicose veins admitted in surgical units of SiddharthaMedicalcollege/ Govt. general hospital VijayawadafromOctober 2015toSeptember 2017.Results:In the study, it was noted that the varicose veins more commonly affect the young adult and middle age population (20-60yrs). Most of the patients were males (88%). Long saphenous vein involvement was seen in 88% of patients. A great number of patients had perforator incompetence. Sapheno-femoral flush ligation with stripping appears to be best option for LSV truncal involvement with no recurrence in followup. Conclusion: Majority of the patients with varicose veins associated with complications and surgical management with stripping of path of incompetence (i.e., LSV trunk) with incompetent perforator ligation appear to be best option for lower limb varicose veins under our settings.
