Popis: Background: Venous disorders of lower limbs are frequently encountered problem. This study compares conventional surgery and (UGFS) ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy for treatment of varicose vein. Methods: This study was conducted over a period of 18 months. Minimum of 50 patients with primary varicose vein due to SFJ (saphenofemoral junction) incompetence were selected and randomly assigned in each arm i.e. surgical and foam sclerotherapy. Results: Mean age of patients was 35.32 (p = 1) in both groups. Overall more than 90% of patients were male. Mean venous clinical severity score (VSCC) score dropped from7.84 to 1.72 (p
