[Guideline on 'The treatment of recurrent varicose veins'Supplement to the Dutch Guideline on Venous disease].

: The Dutch Guideline on Venous disease was lacking a section on recurrent varicose veins. The newly issued supplement on recurrent varicose veins fills this gap and provides clinicians with solutions concerning the management of patients with recurrent varicose veins following earlier treatment. Because venous disease is nowadays considered to be an ongoing disease, patients with this disorder will often require life-long care and different treatment than patients who have never been treated before.
