摘要

Venous ulcers can be a therapeutic challenge and the practical keys to their proper management are not always included in clinical guidelines. In this chapter you will understand how to diagnose a venous ulcer, the importance of adequate diagnosis and etiological treatment, always consulting a vascular surgeon and with appropriate compression therapy tailored to the individual, anti-inflammatory treatments such as corticosteroids or zinc oxide, the value of spacing out dressing changes, and the benefits of advanced therapies such as punch grafting and negative pressure therapy to promote closure of hard-to-heal wounds.
