A client with varicose veins asks a nurse what is involved when ligation and stripping are performed rather than sclerotherapy. what should the nurse consider when planning a response in language the client will understand?

Respuesta :

The correct option is this: THE DILATED SAPHENOUS VEINS ARE REMOVED.
Ligation and stripping is a  surgical approach to the treatment of varicose veins. The treatment involves the surgical tying of a vein in the leg called the saphenous vein. Stripping refers to the removal of the vein through incision from the groin area or behind the knee.
