Duplication of a great saphenous vein can be a potential cause for recurrent varicose veins after surgery as well as complications may occur during the surgery. Method: The present study was done by dissection method on 50 lower limbs of cadavers. Its aim was to identify the incidence and pattern of duplication of long saphenous vein in Indian population. The dissection was done as per Cunningham's manual of practical anatomy and the incidence of duplication of great saphenous vein was noted. Result: Duplications of great saphenous veins were seen in thigh region of 10 lower limbs. In the leg the course of veins were found within normal limit. Conclusion: Duplication of veins is one of the most common reason behind recurrence of varicose veins and makes the surgical procedure complicated.
