What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Typically, this is the first surgical option when it comes to varicose veins. With this treatment, the doctor will seal off veins using lasers or radio waves.  Both laser and radio wave treatments involve inserting a catheter into the vein and sealing it off. The body will naturally redirect blood away from these veins. You'll be given some form of anesthesia to reduce the pain. Radio wave treatment may cause you to feel pins and needles for a bit after the treatment is done. Laser therapy may cause some bruising. It can also damage nerves, but the effect is usually temporary. With these procedures, a solution is injected into your vein that blocks it off. In the case of sclerotherapy, the solution essentially collapses the veins with scars. With foam sclerotherapy, foam is injected that fills the vein and blocks it off. The body will reroute blood from these veins.  This procedure is relatively low-risk, and it can be done in your doctor's office. Foam sclerotherapy is still relatively new. It does reduce varicose veins, but they may come back over time. With this option, the vein is actually removed from your body with surgery. The doctor ties the vein off and then makes a few small incisions. They pull the vein out, and your body reroutes blood around it.  Vein stripping is usually safe, though rarely it can lead nerve damage or deep vein thrombosis, which is the development of a blood clot in the vein.  Some smaller veins are sometimes removed without tying them off, and this procedure is less invasive. With this surgery, the doctor inserts a small tube with a camera on it into your veins. They use a small device on the end of the tube to either block off the vein or remove it completely. This surgery is an outpatient surgery. Typically, you'll only experience some bleeding and bruising with this procedure.

Summary:
Consider endothermal ablation. Ask about sclerotherapy or foam sclerotherapy. Discuss vein stripping. Consider endoscopic vein surgery.
