A total of20 patients with insufficiency ofbilateral internal safenous vein were operated of varices during the period of March of 2002 and February of 2004. For each in case that, two techniques, being one in each inferior member were carried through. The entire searched variable had been submitted to the analysis statistics. As major results, the technique that used the endovenous laser presented minor pain, minor edema and minor hematome during the postoperative course. Also as for the benefits of the surgery, the great majority of the patients answered that the member operated with the laser was the most benefited of the two.
