ABSTRACT
Venous ulcus cruris is usually a chronic disease and an extreme burden for patients and their families. An analysis based on a random statutory health insurance sample of the AOK Hessen/KV Hessen estimated the number of affected people to be 400,000 in Germany. A venous ulcus cruris is always caused by an underlying chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). A spontaneous healing of this chronic disease without treatment is not to be expected. The conservative treatment includes an adequate compression treatment and exudate management. Surgical treatment is based on three pillars an open surgical or endovenous approach to resolve the pathological venous reflux, uIcer surgery and in rare cases the various procedures of fascia surgery as well as defect coverage by a combination of negative pressure wound therapy and skin transplantation.
