ABSTRACT
Patients with chronic venous ulceration (CEAP C6) are traditionally treated conservatively with compression therapy, weight reduction and lef elevation. this is particularly true when the ulcers are infected with a significant amount of bioburden, as traditional open surgery may be complicated by surgical incision infection and dehiscence. We present a case series of nine consecutive patients and venous ulcers who underwent ultrasonic debridement and early minimally invasive vien surgery employing 810nm endovenous laser therapy (EVLT).
