ABSTRACT
The authors present the results of 85 redo operations, which were performed in the 3rd Surgical Department of Semmelweis University and the Surgical Department of St. Borbála Hospital in Tatabánya. The period under survey lasted for five years from 01 January 1996 to 31 December 2000. 783 vascular reconstruction were performed in authors' departments during this period. The authors call attention to the fact that they consider the possibility of redo operations at the planning of the first operation, therefore it is recommended to make only the necessary operation and provide the opportunity for further operations. In their material ten percent of the reconstructive vascular operations were redo operations.
