MODERN METHODS OF TREATMENT OF VARICOSE VEINS OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES

This text discusses modern and innovative methods of treating varicose veins of the
lower extremities. The etiology and risk factors of the disease are briefly described. The main attention is
paid to the classification and detailed analysis of modern minimally invasive techniques such as
endovenous laser and radiofrequency ablation, sclerotherapy, foam obliteration (Varithena), VenaSeal
adhesive system, as well as outpatient phlebectomy. The principles of operation, key advantages and
limitations are given for each method. It is emphasized that the transition from classical surgery to
minimally invasive technologies allows achieving high efficiency (up to 95-98%), reducing recovery time
and improving the quality of life of patients. The choice of the optimal method should be individual.
