Almost one in two people suffer from venous problems in their legs - whether it be varicose veins, "hidden varicose veins", thread veins, swollen or aching legs or venous leg ulcers.
“Understanding venous reflux – the cause of Varicose Veins and
Venous Leg Ulcers” is an essential book for anyone who has any
interests in venous disorders of the legs - patient or health professional alike.
Written in clear language and with easy to follow diagrams, this
book can be read by anyone with a basic understanding of biology,
but the understanding it gives makes it an essential read for anyone
who treat veins in any way at all - thread vein treatments, varicose
veins or leg ulcers.
Although simple to follow, it will shock many professionals who
think that they have a deep understanding of venous disease and will help non-professionals make informed decisions about their investigations and treatments.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mark Whiteley MS FRCS(Gen) is a Consultant Vascular Surgeon who was one of the world's pioneers in the new endovenous surgical techniques.
He was the first person in the UK to perform endovenous surgery - performing the first case in March 1999. He rapidly developed new techniques and approaches to vein disease, inventing the TRLOP technique for treating perforating veins in 2000 (subsequently “re-invented” as PAPS several years later!).
Mark set up The Whiteley Clinic in Guildford and now London, where he and his team specialise in venous disease. They run multiple courses in venous surgery and sclerotherapy and have an active research program to continue improving the understanding and treatment of varicose veins, leg ulcers, thread veins and associated problems.
Mark travels widely lecturing on his research and developments, mainly in the US and Europe.
In early 2012, Mark and a group of colleagues are launching The College of Phlebology – an internet based college for the advancement of understanding into veins and their treatments.
This book is the first book from the College of Phlebology.
