Background: UGFS is considered an acceptable and widely used method for management of 1ry varicose veins. The infiltration of peri-saphenous Tumescent Local Anaesthesia (TLA) decrease the procedure related pain, and compresses the saphenous vein. The VCSS added up to the CEAP classification and is very beneficial for serial
assessment and patients follow up.
Aim of the work: To determine the improvement of VCSS in subjects with incompetent GSV after UGFS with the use of tumescent local anesthesia during one year follow up.
Patients and methods: Between May 2018 and May 2019, 51 subjects were recruited in this study, which attended to The Vascular Surgery Department of Qena University and Assiut University Hospitals. 58 lower extremities were thoroughly examined to evaluate severity of the venous disease using CEAP classification and VCSS. All subjects
