Surgical management of the chronic venous ulcer: the Rob procedure. 1979

P J Healey, and E H Healey, and R Wong, and F J Schaberg

Eighteen operations for venous ulceration were performed through a stocking seam incision with only one recurrence and minimal wound problems. The prolonged morbidity of venous ulcer disease can be alleviated with the method described. By a history and clinical examination followed by venography, a group of patients with venous ulcers can be identified who will benefit from an aggressive surgical approach.
