We analysed venograms of recurrent varicose veins in 180 cases (206 lower limbs). Deep vein valvular insufficiency resulted in varicose veins in 52.9% cases, and post-thrombotic syndrome in 18.9%. The causes of postoperative recurrent varicose veins varied: blindly performed single superficial veins operation, low ligation of the long saphenous trunk, incomplete stripping of varicose veins, missing of the short varicose saphena or incomplete ligation of the perforating veins and failure of deep vein valvular repairs. Venography is of value in making correct diagnosis and choosing appropriate operations.
