Long-term efficacy of inguinal reoperation for recurrent saphenofemoral incompetence

This study demonstrates that saphenofemoral redo surgery is very effective when certain technical strategies are implemented to prevent neovascularization. Long-term treatment results may be superior to minimally invasive procedures, indicating the need for comparative studies. Until such studies are available, open redo surgery should continue to be considered as an appropriate treatment option for saphenofemoral recurrence.
