This third edition of a popular book aims to
address the aetiology and treatment of varicose veins in plain
language that will be understandable to the physician and lay
reader alike. Professor Ellis sweeps away popular misconceptions
and gets to the heart of what the disease really means to its
sufferers, dealing with possible causes, treatment, complications
and common questions and answers.
The introduction of a prominent and practising
vascular surgeon, Mr Peter Taylor, as a co-author, has ensured
that the text has been brought up-to-date and includes clear explanations
of recently developed diagnostic techniques such as Doppler ultrasound
and new treatment options such as laser therapy. The book is fully
illustrated throughout with photographs and clear explanatory
drawings, often in colour, to aid understanding, and includes
simple self-help material such as some exercise programs and instructions
for using modern support bandages.
