Usually, the problem consists of a mild form of varicose veins and teleangiectasis. Treat- ment in this stage of disease is highly recommended since progression can lead to chronic venous insuffi ciency and chronic disability with very few eff ective treat- ment options. Th e most eff ective and popular treatment of varicose veins is opera- tive treatment; specifi cally two diff erent operative procedures: method according to Myers and method according to Klapp and Smetana. We designed this study in order to determine which method is superior based on clinical parameters and patients satisfaction. Our evidence strongly support clinical superiority, as well as patient satisfaction, of Klapp and Smetana method.
