Varicose veins are treated at multiple clinical departments, but as patients
often visit the dermatology clinic first due to leg ulcers, the present
Guidelines for the Management of Lower Leg Ulcers/Varicose Veins were prepared in
consideration of the importance of the dermatologist's role. Also, the disease
concept of chronic venous insufficiency or chronic venous disorders and the CEAP
classification of these disorders are presented. The objective of the present
guidelines is to properly guide the diagnosis and treatment of lower leg
ulcers/varicose veins by systematically presenting evidence-based recommendations
that support clinical decisions.
