Objective: Numerous methods of injections and compounds are available. The most commonly used are sodium tetradecyl sulphate, these can be foamed or injected in various concentrations ppresently there is no exact guideline for injection of STS Foam. Method: we reviewed our prospectively complied data of patient who have undergone USGFS for smaller diameter veins with different concentration of STS and clinical outcome were assed. Results: There was extremely high patient satisfaction. 81% registered complete success, and 19% felt that foam had been partially successful. Their QOL (quality of life) improved as they were more ambulant, could stand for longer duration, could work more, no requirement of compression bandage and felt better.) Conclusion: Ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy is a safe, fast and effective technique of treatment of varicose vein. FST seems to more be beneficial for smaller, recurrent, remnant varicosities.
