Majority of the patient were male (85.71%) majority of the patients sought medical help for one or the other complications (78%) Long saphenous vein involvement was seen in 90.5% of the patients and both LSV and SSV involvement in 9.5%. A greater portion of the patients had combined valvular incompetence (69.56%). Saphenofemoral flush ligation with stripping appeared to be best option for LSV truncal involvement with no recurrence in one year follow–up.
