Aim:Comparative analysis of open surgery with venous stripping and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of varicose veins. Materials and Methods: This research was done on a sample of 100 patients in the department of general surgery, including both male and female individuals. The patients were segregated into two groups, each consisting of 50 individuals. those in Group A received open surgery including venous stripping, whereas those in Group B underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The parameters of bleeding, hematoma, blood transfusion, postoperative inflammation, and length of hospital stay were compared. Results: There were 29 males and 21 females in group A and 26 males and 24 females in group B. The mean age of the group A and Group B 36.46±3.45 and 37.28±3.68 respectively. The mean duration of surgery in group A was 56.66±3.47 minutes and in group B was 17.19±1.78 minutes. Hospital stay was 4.77±0.88days in group A and 1.36±0.12 days in group B. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). The common complications were bleeding seen 10 in group A and 2 in group B, hematoma seen 6 in group A and 2 in group B and inflammation seen 37 in group A and 4 in group B. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings indicate that conservative therapy with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is superior to open surgery including venous stripping.
