What is the VNUS Closure Procedure?

My doctor recommended the VNUS closure procedure for my leg.  Please tell me more about it.

I have several posts about VNUS Closure for you to read.
In essence, VNUS FAST Closure treats venous reflux disease where leaky valves in the veins cause reflux of blood backwards into the legs, whether it originates in the groin into the greater saphenous vien or behind the leg into the short saphenous veins.
Instead of the old ligation and stripping procedure, the vein is obliterated endoluminally, meaning from inside using radiofrequency energy with VNUS Closure or laser energy with EVLT.
Either procedure is highly successful in trained hands and you should do a thorough investigation and find out how many procedures the doctor has done before you sign up.
