Can the removal of great saphenous vein solve the varicose problem?

Not necessarily.: Malfunctioning of the valves of the greater saphenous vein could lead to varicose veins. However varicose veins could also occur from malfunctioning valves of other veins such as the small saphenous vein, various accessory veins and even unusual veins such as a duplicated saphenous vein. Closing the gsv will seal the valves but you may still require removal of varicose veins by micro incisions.

Partially: Varicose vein disease is inherited and made worse with prolonged sitting, standing, hormones, heat, etc. The valves are affected in the saphenous veins in the leg. We treat each diseased vein as it occurs. If the great saphenous vein is ablated with endovenous heat, usually there are smaller tributaries in the calf or small saphenous veins that need treatment too as time passes and surface veins.
