TL;DR: Surgical treatment for varicose veins showed that surgical treatment produced better results than conservative treatment in terms of HRQoL, symptomatic relief, anatomical extent and patient satisfaction, and economic modelling suggested that surgery produced a still greater benefit when considered with a 10-year time horizon.

Surgery and sclerotherapy in the treatment of varicose veins. A random trial.
TL;DR: The analysis showed that the best primary treatment for dilated superficial veins and for incompetent perforating veins in the lower part of the legs was injection-compression, and surgery was much more successful and long-lasting when there was involvement of the saphenous systems with proximal incompetence.
