Original Title:
Application 1059
Authors' recommendations:
Endovenous laser treatment for varicose veins appears to be safe in comparison with stripping of varicose veins but there is insufficient evidence pertaining to effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, therefore Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC) recommended that public funding should not be supported for this procedure at this time.
