Evaluation Of early surgical treatment results considering venous LEG ulcer

Journal Title: Polish Journal of Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 88, Issue 4

Abstract

Lower leg ulcers are characterized by a chronic and recurrent course, being considered as a difficult therapeutic problem. Based on epidemiological data chronic ulcers concern 0.2 to 2% of the Western European population. The above-mentioned problem affects women more often than men, and increases with age. Treatment and recurrence prevention methods remain under discussion and research.
