Surgical modelities involve saphenofemoral junction ligation and greater saphenous stripping and saphenopopliteal junction ligature and lesser saphenous stripping, sclerotheoraphy, subfascial ligation of Cockett and Dodd split skin graft, radical surgical approach and bypass surgery. So treatment modalities mentioned in classics need to be followed to avoid the surgery complications.
