title: [Treatment of recurrences of varicose veins of the lower limbs].
abstract: The causes of the development of postoperative recurrences of the lower limb varices in 172 patients accounting for 7.2% of the total number of the patients operated on are analysed. Reoperations were performed in 137 patients. Disease recurrence in 87.2% of the patients occurred during the first 3 years after the operation. It was mainly caused by incomplete phlebectomy and underestimation of pathological changes in the system of the small saphenous vein. The methods for reoperations are presented.
