Abstract

Background: In the intervening years, a few randomized clinical trials have confirmed that foam sclerotherapy is effective in managing great vein incompetence. However, no details have been published in its efficacy in comparison with conventional methods such as stab avulsion in the treatment of varicosis in small veins. Objectives: This randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare results and outcomes of the Ultrasonography-guided Foam Sclerotherapy and conventional Stab Avulsion Ambulatory Phlebectomy in the treatment of varicosis in small veins of the leg. Patients and Methods: In a randomized single-blinded clinical trial, patients with varicosis in the small veins of the leg were randomly assigned for treatment with Ultrasonography-guided Foam Sclerotherapy (n = 45) or with ambulatory phlebectomy (n = 45). Follow-up visits were done in 1 week, 1 and 6 months after operation and all patients were assessed regarding postoperative pain, need for analgesics, time to return to work, and level of satisfaction. Results: Postoperative pain was significantly lower in foam sclerotherapy group by VAS (P = 0. 003). There was a significant difference in the morbidity rate between the two techniques (13. 3%. in foam sclerotherapy, 37. 8% in ambulatory phlebectomy, P = 0. 008). The main predictors of the pain incidence included ambulatory phlebectomy, female gender, and advanced age. Satisfaction was significantly higher in foam sclerotherapy group (P = 0. 024). Also, this group had shorter time to return to work (P < 0. 001). Conclusion: Foam sclerotherapy is more preferred to ambulatory phlebectomy for treating varicosis in small veins of the leg because of its lower morbidity, less pain, more satisfaction, and shorter time to return to work.
