  ABSTRACT: In the modern day care, several minimal invasive approaches, both thermal and non-thermal, have been proposed for the surgery of varicose venous disease. Early diagnosis and subsequent surgical treatment may prevent complications onset and block the natural history of chronic venous disease. Nevertheless, the choice of surgical strategy must rely on the specific anatomic and clinical features of each patient. Hybrid procedures, that combine more endovascular and surgical techniques, may represent useful options to overcome some conventional limits and avoid performing the classical open venous surgery. Therefore, our efforts must aim to obtain an optimal functional outcome, in accordance with longer saphenous vein obliteration at mid-long term, in the respect of a minimal invasive surgery and the best possible cosmetic impact. This brief report will focus on the use of sclero-foam assisted laser therapy as chosen hybrid option, showing the technical modality and underlining the benefits, especially in particular subsets of patients affected from saphenous vein incompetence.
