Varicose vein stripping is the surgical procedure to treat varicose veins condition. Varicose veins are the abnormal veins that appear swollen, twisted, prominent and dark purple or blue through the skin. Varicose veins can form anywhere in the body, but they are usually seen in the back of the calf or on the inside of the leg. They occur when the valves in the veins do not function properly and the blood leaks down and collects in the veins. This causes the veins to enlarge. Women are more likely to get varicose veins than men.
