title: [Compression therapy of leg ulcers].
abstract: The authors present a group of 76 patients with chronic venous insufficiency in the stage or crural ulceration. After staging of the disease (C 6, E prim, E sec, A sup. pr. ref., P re) in the first stage they used a conservative approach, the method of compressive bandages: either an elastic bandage or zinc-glue bandage (Varolast). 49 patients were cured by conservative treatment (64.5%) in the course of 5 months. 12 patients were indicated for surgery (15.8%). Thus the authors cured finally 80.2% patients. A relapse was recorded in 6 patients (7.8%) and in 9 patients treatment failed (11.8%). For treatment with zinc-glue bandages they recommend patients without obstruction in the deep venous system, with large chronic ulcers and associated oedema of the whole leg.
