Scleroterapy: Vv can be treated with sclerotherapy, injecting dilute amounts of various solutions known as detergents into the lumen. This method may require several sessions to rid the vv.

Depends on what you: Mean by surgery. There is no way to get rid of varicose veins without doing something that isn't at least minimally invasive. For the most part, this involves being stuck by a needle. If you don't include being stuck by a needle then i would call sclerotherapy and endovenous laser and rf non-surgical. If you include being stuck by a needle as surgery, then there is nothing available.

Varicose Veins: If you mean a surgery with incisions put on your legs, then often the answer is yes. The veins can be cured with less invasive methods such as use of lasers or vein infections such as sclerotherapy. Radiofrequency ablation is another treatment options. Sometime surgery requiring leg incision is needed, but not very often. Seek a board-certified vein specialist (vascular surgeon) for opinion.

Varicose veins: large of varicose veins are most often being treated at this time with a thermal ablation procedure which does not require open surgery. Spider veins most commonly treated with sclerotherapy or laser. This also does not require surgery. Identification of the issue as to why there are varicose veins is crucial to aid in a plan of management. This can be accomplished with a venous Doppler-sono.
