title: [The surgeon and venous and mixed venous/arterial ulcers].
abstract: The treatment of leg ulcers encompasses several techniques: mechanical and surgical debridement under local anaesthetic, the excision of the ulcerous base followed by pinch skin or mesh grafting. Varicose vein surgery is based on stripping methods or ligation of the perforators with the aim of relieving the venous overload. These methods are evolving with the use of endoscopic techniques (endovenous laser, radio frequency technique).
