Basically three possibilities are available for the treatment of the varicose symptom complex: 1. Varicosclerozation, 2. Surgery, 3. Compression. Dermatologists and internists understandably prefer varicosclerozation; surgeons, surgery. The best success, in my opinion, is achieved with all three possibilities of treatment are used in combination and adjusted individually to the vascular findings of each case. There is no effective varicosclerozation and no surgical treatment without subsequent compression. In no case, can treatment by medication be more than supportive for other effective measures. The goal of this article is to provide information regarding the present status of surgical treatment. Unavoidably, the indication for the other methods of treatment was also established.
