From September 2017 to the end of September 2018, 106 patients with venous insufficiency were treated surgically at the Dermatovenereological Clinic, University Medical Centre Ljubljana. We performed endovenous ablations with laser, radiofrequency, glue, steam and mechano-chemical ablation. The results of both radio frequency and laser methods were are comparable to each other. We have only few cases treated with glue and mechano-chemical ablation, therefore statistical comparison to other methods is not yet possible. However, we find slightly higher percentage of smaller recanalisations in patients who were treated with steam. Patients were very satisfied with the result after all types of the procedures.
