This analysis aims to evaluate recurrence rates attributed to incomplete ligation after short saphenous vein surgery.
Performed literature search on studies involving patients with short saphenous veins.
Utilized pre- and postoperative duplex scanning.
Focused on anatomical recurrence at the saphenopopliteal junction.
29% of patients experienced duplex-defined recurrence linked to incomplete ligation.
High recurrence rates have implications for patient quality of life.
Findings underscore the importance of complete surgery on the saphenous vein system.
