Retrospective analysis compares outcomes of two thermal ablation techniques for varicose veins, highlighting recovery differences.

EVLA leads to quicker recovery with a mean of 2.26 days compared to RFA's 2.69 days, indicating significant differences.
Pain scores at 6 hours, 3.65 for RFA and 3.38 for EVLA, suggest EVLA may have a slight advantage despite statistical similarity.
Both techniques demonstrate effective outcomes, with comparable minor complications across 127 patients treated.
The study's findings point to a need for further long-term evaluations to assess effectiveness and complication rates.
