More DescriptionDuring the last two decades new methods for investigating the venous system in the lower limbs have brought a fresh understanding and transformed many aspects of management. The instruments of research have now become the tools of diagnosis - capable of great accuracy. However, it is not always easy to decide which of the many sophisticated techniques is the most suitable for everyday use. Varicose Veins, Venous Disorders, and Lymphatic Problems in the Lower Limbs has been written with this in mind and provides a comprehensive practical guide, in keeping with modern thought, on the diagnosis and management of venous disorders, deep vein thrombosis, and oedema in the lower limb. The book is arranged in three interrelated parts and written by internationally acknowledged authorities in the field. It is liberally illustrated throughout in colour by photographs and many explanatory diagrams. This book is intended for surgeons with an interest in veins, whether in training or experienced surgeons wishing to update their understanding and methods in a subject that has recently undergone much change. However, it will also be of great value to all those involved in venous and deep vein thrombosis work. Physicians, dermatologists, sclerotherapists, general practitioners, nurses, physiotherapists, orthotists, and students will find a wealth of information to enhance their understanding and practice.
