Isolated Great Saphenous Vein Stripping for Treatment of Varicose Veins in Lower Limbs
Sponsor: Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two surgical approaches for treating varicose veins in the lower limbs in adults: performing varicose vein removal at the same time as great saphenous vein stripping (concomitant) versus performing great saphenous vein treatment alone. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do clinical outcomes differ between these approaches? * Does quality of life improve differently depending on which surgical approach is used? Participants will: * Undergo great saphenous vein stripping for lower limb varicose veins with or without simultaneous varicose vein ressection * Be assigned to have varicose vein resection either at the same time or in a subsequent procedure * Complete quality of life assessments before and after surgery
