Chronic venous ulcer surgery is a procedure performed to treat non-healing leg ulcers caused by venous insufficiency, a condition where the veins are unable to effectively return blood to the heart. Surgical options may include debridement of the ulcer, vein ligation or stripping, or the use of grafts to improve blood flow and promote healing.
This surgery helps alleviate symptoms such as pain, swelling, and infection, improving circulation and preventing the recurrence of venous ulcers.
