Veneous ulcers are extremely common, accounting for a large proportin of all lower extremity ulcers. Due to their chronicity and relatively high prevalence, their impact on the cost of healthcare and the lives of the patients affected is quite significant. There has been progress in understanding the pathophysiology, clinical features, and diagnosis of

Residual Venous Reflux after Superficial Venous Surgery Does Not Predict Ulcer Recurrence
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2007 OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of venous reflux in ulcer recurrence following saphenous surgery. METHODS: Ulcerated legs (CEAP 5 and 6) with saphenous reflux were treated with superficial venous surgery plus ...

Underlying the pathogenesis of venous ulceration is venous hypertension. Therefore, the use of multilayered compression therapy is the gold standard in the treatment of a venous ulcer. As treatment progresses, an important determinant of response is wound assessment, which should be performed on initial visit and subsequently thereafter.

Successful therapy of venous ulcers combines local wound treatment modalities and ambulatory hemodynamic support to control the underlying disease. Compression bandaging reduces or eliminates edema, and a moist wound environment not only debrides necrotic tissue but also aids development of granulation tissue, a prerequisite for epidermal repair.

The etiology of venous ulceration is far more complex than Homans' theory of stagnation and hypo-oxygenation. Indeed, studies have shown that flow in lipodermatosclerotic limbs is actually faster than normal. We suggest, therefore, that the terms "stasis dermatitis" and "stasis ulcer" be dropped from medical parlance.

Investigation of venous ulcers
Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2015The evaluation of patients with venous ulceration primarily includes noninvasive methods to elucidate the distribution and extent of pathology. Duplex ultrasound is the first line of investigation, as it provides assessment of both reflux and obstruction conditions.

Compression therapy is considered to be the most important conservative treatment of venous leg ulcers. Until a few years ago, compression bandages were regarded as first-line therapy of venous leg ulcers. However, to date medical compression stockings are the first choice of treatment.
