During the recent 4 years, 135 patients (130 females and 5 males) with trophic persistent ulcers of the lower extremities, developed due to venous pathology, were treated conservatively. Eighty patients aged from 30 to 50 years, and only 55 patients were much older. The duration of the disease was from 6 months to 20 years. Ulcers were of different size from 3.2 to 180 cm2. The combined method of treatment of trophic ulcers enabled the authors to shorten twice the terms of the treatment as compared with other methods. The positive effect was gained in 89.6% of cases, in 59 patients (43.7%) complete healing of ulcers being gained. This method may be employed not only under stationary but also under outpatient conditions.
