A thorough description of new surgical treatment which accelerates the healing of formerly intractable venous ulcerations, and which can be carried out in a day-care surgical centre -- thus avoiding the need for hospitalisation. It treats the pathophysiology as well as the anatomy, and compares the results of surgical intervention to historical data. Lavishly illustrated by numerous colour photographs and line drawings.
