During a 7-year period, 237 patients were treated surgically at Tromsø Hospital for varices of the great saphenous vein. At follow-up (mean 7.5 years) the overall results were excellent in 30%, good in 47%, and poor in 21% of the patients. The recurrence rate of varicose veins was 47%. However, 50% of these patients had no symptoms or only minor symptoms, from the recurrence. 37 patients noticed the occurrence of troublesome varicose veins within one year after operation. At clinical reexamination it was found that in 32 of these patients the surgery had been inadequate. This probably explains the rapid recurrence.
在7年期间，237例患者在特罗姆瑟医院接受了大隐静脉曲张的手术治疗。随访（平均7.5年）时，30%的患者总体结果优秀，47%的患者良好，21%的患者较差。静脉曲张的复发率为47%。然而，这些患者中有50%没有症状或只有轻微的复发症状。37例患者在术后一年内注意到出现了麻烦的静脉曲张。临床复查发现，这些患者中有32例手术不充分。这可能解释了复发迅速的原因。
