Recurrence Discussion in Varicose Veins Therapy-A Critical Examination of The Vein Stump Discussion

Ulf Th Zierau and Wolfgang Lah

Abstract

The recurrence discussion in varicose veins is mainly led to a tendentious venous stump discussion. Radical stripping vs. endovenous laser as a vehicle for the fundamental scientific, turning away from the endovenous procedures, in the treatment of varicose disease. This is no new phenomenon, it`s nearly as old as the different therapy options himself. Since 1911 we have seen the discussion between the radical surgery fraction and the endovenous fraction.
