Over the past several decades, many surgical methods of treatment for varicose disease have been implemented into clinical practice. Nonetheless, an intrinsically too traumatic nature thereof, unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes obtained, long-term postoperative rehabilitation required, and high recurrence rates reported send us in search of minimally invasive but at the same time highly efficient methods of treatment for varicose disease.

The present article deals with the experience gained by Russian and foreign authors in and suggesting efficiency of novel minimally invasive technologies used for treatment of both newly diagnosed varicose disease and its relapsing forms. This is followed by analysing different variants of the procedural techniques involved.

KEY WORDS: varicose disease, relapse of varicose disease, minimally invasive interventions.
