Recurrent varicosis after surgical treatment

Varicosis of low extremities (VLE) is a surgical disease, often recurrent not dependent on the methods of surgical treatment. The aim of the investigation is to study the cause of recurrent VLE and to determine special characteristics of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in this pathology. The results of the examination of 90 patients with recurrent VLE are presented. On the basis of the study the author comes to the conclusion that most cases (82.2%) of recurrent VLE are caused by technological and methodological mistakes in primary surgery, but 17.8% cases of recurrent VLE are the signs of the further progressing of VLE, and that recurrent VLE in most cases doesn't cause progressing of CVI symptoms.
