Varicose veins are dilated, tortuous superficial veins, most commonly in the lower limbs, due to valve incompetence and venous hypertension. They can cause pain, swelling, and skin changes. Understanding the venous system, including the great and small saphenous veins and perforators, is crucial in phlebology and vascular surgery. Accurate anatomical knowledge guides sclerotherapy, vein stripping, or endovenous procedures while preserving deep venous function. Awareness of superficial and deep vein relationships ensures safe interventions, symptom relief, and prevention of complications such as thrombophlebitis, skin ulceration, or chronic venous insufficiency.
