Different modalities of treatment of varicose ulcers in post phlebitic limbs

ABSTRACT

In this study, 60 cases of post phlebitic limb suffering from venous ulceration were randomly chosen and the three common modalities of treatment of the ulceration were compared. A comparison was done between the results of the three treatment modalities as regards hospital stay, post treatment complications, type and duration of wound healing and progress of the ulcer and recurrence. The cases were reviewed after one month, six months and one year and the results were compared in an attempt to reach the best policy to deal with this condition that would significantly reduce the misery of ulceration and would reduce the considerable costs of medical treatment for the patients as well as health authorities
