Most venous leg ulcers can be CURED. Not healed temporarily with dressings and compression, only to come back again - but cured. So why is this revolutionary? Because most patients are not given the chance of a cure. Patients with leg ulcers are consigned to a life of dressings and compression - and are not told that they might be cured with local anaesthetic vein treatments, performed as walk-in, walk-out procedures. Professor Mark Whiteley is an internationally renowned venous surgeon who has spent over 20 years researching venous disease and treatments. He performed the first endovenous surgery in the UK (March 1999), invented the TRLOP procedure in 2001 and founded The Whiteley Clinic in 2003 as a specialist venous clinic - now called Whiteley Clinics. This book is aimed at anyone who has a venous leg ulcer, or who deals with patients who have venous leg ulcers - either as a carer or as a healthcare professional. Written simply and well-illustrated, it takes the reader from first principles through the investigation and treatments of venous leg ulcers - showing how compression and dressings can be avoided in most patients who can walk. With the changing face of medical research, new guidelines and litigation, anyone who has a venous leg ulcer, or who works with those that suffer from venous leg ulcers, should be aware of the messages in this book. Review: Empower yourself on your health care! - I'm a 31 year old woman - overweight but otherwise healthy and developed a leg ulcer after a year of discoloration/rash on my legs. After seeing multiple dermatologists for this issue - I was ultimately told I had Lipodermatosclerosis. Unhappy with the results I was getting trying to heal my wound I came across this book and purchased it immediately. Thankfully realizing that a dermatologist was not the doctor I needed but rather a vien dr. - I was able to schedule an appointment and send in an authorization for the surgery needed to correct my venous reflux. (Was also told Lipodermatosclorisis is a symptom not a diagnosis) This book was a godsend and my vien dr. praised me for being well versed in my issues. Thank you desertcart for selling and Thank you Mark Whiteley for publishing a clear and concise book to inform the every day person! Review: I need help - I prayed for a way to understand what I need to ask my doctor to help me get the right best outcome for my leg ulcer treatment. I some how found this book read it cover to cover. I was glad that it was easy to understand with good picture that showed what causes ulcer and how Doctor Whitley researched over 20 years so that he could help people like me maybe get relieve to this painfull problem. I am going to see my doctor next Thursday and hope she is formilar with processes and can help me. And God bless the people who help others people in time of need. Thank you.

So, leg ulcers can be cured. Who knew?
This book taught me more about my leg ulcers in one day of reading then my doctors and wound care specialist in all the eight years that I’ve been treated by them. I have wasted more money and time when I could have been cured. I recommend this book to everyone with leg ulcers and varicose veins. The next time you see your doctor show them this book if they have nerves sent you to get an venous duplex ultrasound. That’s the first step in seriously curing leg ulcers. I just had mine. I get my results August 13th 2019. Will post update. Would have given this book a 10 if I could.

Excellent informative book
I work as a Nurse in a Community leg Ulcer clinic and as stated by the author I certainly did find this book 'shocking'. I was shocked at my lack of knowledge regarding procedures to 'cure' venous leg ulcers as opposed to attempting to 'heal' them as I do on a daily basis. I found the book well written, easy to follow and extremely interesting. I plan to discuss its contents at my next staff meeting. My thanks go to the author.

Advices to my regret are not for everyone
My doctor (Winnipeg, Canada) looked on this book and said not in my case. She stripped my veins, than I got infection and after 3 (three!) months was able to return to work. It was 2+ terrible months full of pain.

Simple but Comprehensive
This booklet is as good for Professionals involved with Venous Ulcer Care as those suffering from it. Very well written in simple to understand English. Those who suffer from Venous Ulcers should also buy and read to fully understand their condition and help make their lives better.
