Abstract:
One of the most often diseases of the European population is the venous chronic leg ulcer. It requires a long-term and expensive therapy. Basic elements of the therapy are elastic banding of the leg, diuretics, antibiotics and local treatment. In some cases a profit can be acquired from surgical procedure, which includes the stripping and/or crossectomy of the saphenous vein or the subfascial ligation of insufficient perforators and skin grafting (two phases operation). This procedure shorts the time of therapy and prevents the ulcer recurrence, because it resolves the reason and the results of the disease. We present 22 patients treated by this cure during the last 3 years at our surgery department of the 3rd faculty of medicine Charles University in Prague. 21 patients (95.5%) are healed.
