Objective: Scarce information is available on the long-term results of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for great saphenous vein (GSV) or small saphenous vein (SSV) insufficiency. We sought to provide data on the status of patients at least 9 years after EVLA.
Methods: In 2018, we undertook a cross-sectional survey of ambulatory patients who had undergone EVLA in our tertiary care center in 2008-2009.

Objective: Treatment of chronic venous insufficiency of the great saphenous veins by endovenous laser ablation yields good short- and medium-term results, as assessed clinically and technically by echo-color-Doppler. At present, scarce data are available on the long-term results of endovenous laser ablation. We wanted to assess the long-term efficacy of endovenous laser ablation.

- - The study focuses on the recurrence of varicose veins after surgery and assesses the effectiveness of reinterventions in managing the condition and improving patient satisfaction.
- - Out of 71 patients who underwent surgery for recurrent varices, 51 were re-evaluated after an average follow-up of 5.8 years, revealing high patient satisfaction (74.5% very satisfied) despite many still having varices.
- - The findings suggest that outpatient surgical procedures can effectively control varicose disease with minimal complications, although some patients experience persistence or progression of the condition.
