Extremely high rate of recurrence is one of the serious problems of surgical treatment of lower limb varicosis. The objective is to evaluate the efficiency of external valvuloplasty of the femoral vein in the recurrent lower limb varicosis. One-sided external valvuloplasty of the femoral vein valve was performed in addition to stripping or sclerotherapy on forty-seven patients with true recurrence of lower limb varicosis because of the deep venous valve insufficiency. It is determined that external valvuloplasty is an effective method to treat deep venous valve insufficiency of the lower limbs and chronic vein insufficiency.
