    Varicose vein re-operations often stem from incomplete initial surgeries, particularly neglecting the small saphenous vein. Complete initial treatment and regular follow-ups are crucial for lasting results in varicose vein management.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Phlebology
    • Medical Research

    Background:

    • Varicose vein surgery has a long history, with over 6,000 patients operated on since 1949.
    • A significant number of patients (281) required re-operation due to previous incomplete or incorrect procedures.
    • Recurrences are frequently linked to neglected aspects of the initial surgery, such as incomplete stripping or failure to address the small saphenous vein.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the causes of varicose vein recurrence after initial surgical interventions.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of re-operations for varicose veins.
    • To identify factors contributing to successful and lasting outcomes in varicose vein treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 281 patients who underwent re-operation for varicose veins.

  • Review of surgical histories, focusing on the completeness and correctness of the initial procedures.
  • Phlebographical control utilized to guide re-operative procedures and assess outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • In 230 cases, initial operations were incorrect or incomplete, with 96% of recurrences attributed to neglect of the small saphenous vein or incomplete saphenofemoral junction treatment.
    • Previous operations, even if technically correct, did not prevent recurrence in cases of bilateral disease or involvement of multiple saphenous veins.
    • Re-operations, though challenging, yielded good results with phlebographical guidance, though deep vein issues required ongoing management.

    Conclusions:

    • Incomplete or incorrect initial surgical treatment is a primary driver of varicose vein recurrence.
    • Thorough initial surgical management, including complete stripping and addressing all affected veins (especially the small saphenous vein), is essential.
    • Regular phlebological follow-up is critical for monitoring and ensuring long-term success after varicose vein surgery.
