Objective To investigate the factors and possible causes of recurrence for great saphenous varicose veins after operation. Methods PubMed, Wanfang data and CNKI database from January 2000 to May 2020 were researched, collecting randomized controlled study (RCT) literature on endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radio frequency ablation (RFA) and high ligation and stripping of GSV (HLS)about postoperative recurrence, using clinical and color Doppler ultrasonography to evaluate the anatomical location of recurrent venous reflux, possible causes of reflux, and recurrent symptomatic varicose veins (VVs) processing. Results Nine RCT documents on EVLA and HLS were included in the analysis. Among the 1765 lower extremities, 712 lower extremities underwent HLS surgery, 354 received RFA treatment, and 699 received EVLA treatment. The average age was 47 years, and the average follow-up was 3.4 years. The ratio of female patients reached 77%, with mild GSV varicose (C2-C3) close to 90%. In all RCTs, the thigh and calf are the most common anatomical sites for recurrence. The causes of recurrence include neovascularization, venous recanalization, presence of accessory saphenous vein, perforator formation, and surgical failure. The recurrence rate statistics varied greatly between groups. RFA: The total recurrence in the 2-year follow-up (one group) was 20.5%) the 3-year (two groups) were 53.3% and 17.1%, and the 5-year (one group) was 12.9%. HLS: The total recurrences in the 2-year follow-up (three groups) were 16.7%, 3.0%, and 17.5%, respectively, the 3-year (two groups) were 23.1% and 21.1%, and the 5-year (three groups) were 42.6%, 26.8% and 4.2%. EVLA: The total recurrences in the 2-year follow-up (two groups) were 17.0% and 28.6%, the 3-year (one group) was 28.6%, and the 5-year (three groups) were 47.8%, 29.6%, and 5.6%, respectively. Conclusion The literature reports that the location and cause of recurrence after GSV varicose surgery are basically the same, but the recurrence rate varies greatly in the literature. The three methods of EVLA, RFA, and HLA have higher recurrence rates.
