The article presents a retrospective analysis of the treatment of 110 patients with varicose disease by radiofrequency obliteration method. The average age of the patients was 45.7 ± 12.2 years. According to the CEAP classification, the patients were divided into the following subgroups: С2 — 9.1 %, С3 — 18.2 %, С4 — 50.0 %, С5 — 15.5 %, С6 — 7.3 %. 93 manipulations (84.5 %) were performed on a large saphenous vein and 17 (15.5 %) on a small saphenous vein. Isolated RFO was performed in 33 patients, in combination with miniflebectomy — in 77 patients. The research showed that with isolated RFO technique, the pain syndrome after the operation was almost completely absent; combined with the miniflebectomy it reaches a maximum of 3 VAS units. Radiofrequency obliteration under ultrasound control is an effective and reliable method of surgical treatment of patients with varicose disease.

Key words: varicose disease, radiofrequency obliteration, surgical treatment.
