Methods: VV patients who were operated classic surgical method (OP) were the OP group (n-36) and the patients who were treated EVLA method were the EVLA group (n-36). We studied quality of life the patients after 1 year of treatment by Aberdeen’s questionnaire and the occurrence of recurrence. Results: Between the two groups there was no difference in terms of risk factors before OP / EVLA treatment, as well as in terms of disease severity assessed CEAP classification. Quality of life after 1 year showed that there were no differences between the two groups (5.288 / 7.444, p <0.076). However, symptoms of patients in both groups improved after 1 year of intervention, the pain is to reduce the OP group to 61%, in EVLA group by 87% (p <0.017) Also, after 1 year there was no significant difference in recurrence occurs between OP and EVLA group. (10/36 to 27.8% in the group of OP 6/36 to 16.7 %% in EVLA group). Of the risk factors in multivariate analysis on the phenomenon of recurrence a previous deep vein thrombosis was significantly influenced (p = 0.011). Conclusion: Patients after 1 year of treatment OP or EVLA of varicose veins had significantly fewer symptoms, particularly patients who were EVLA group Differences between groups were not significant in terms of the recurrence and the quality of life.
