Superficial vein surgery is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and venous insufficiency, conditions in which the veins in the legs become enlarged and inefficient at returning blood to the heart. Treatment options include ligation (tying off) of the affected vein, sclerotherapy (injecting a solution to close the vein), or endovenous laser treatment.
Superficial vein surgery helps relieve symptoms such as pain, swelling, and heaviness in the legs, while improving circulation and preventing future complications.
