title: Subfascial Endoscopic Perforator Vein Surgery [SEPS] and Fasciotomy: Treatment of Severe Chronic Venous Disease.
abstract: Chronic leg ulceration affects about 1 to 2 % of the European population. Although the pathogenesis of venous ulceration is not completely understood, it is generally agreed that the transmission of high ambulatory pressures through incompetent perforating veins plays a major role. There are only limited data available to assess the long-term prognosis for leg ulcer patients.
