Background, One of the most popular surgical procedures, varicose vein surgery serves as a crucial teaching technique for aspiring surgeons. The great saphenous and short saphenous systems in the lower limbs, which are tortuous and dilated, are the veins most commonly affected by varicose veins. A vessel wall disease or valvular pathology is the cause of a varicose vein. People who work all day standing up typically have long-term effects. The Trendelenburg procedure involves several phlebotomies for the dilated veins below the knee, along with the juxta femoral flush ligation of saphenous veins and vein stripping up to below the knee. The less invasive radiofrequency ablation therapy has replaced the Trendelenburg method and is growing in popularity since it has fewer drawbacks. Venous tissue is thermally damaged when a high-frequency alternating current is employed to transmit electrical energy into the tissue. More research is needed to compare the Trendelenburg and radiofrequency in the chosen group with regard to early ambulation, early return to work, the severity of postoperative pain, recovery time, and complications. Methods An analytical cross-sectional study including 100 people with varicose veins was undertaken from June 2017 to July 2019 and lasted one year and eleven months.
