Wound, Pressure Ulcer, and Burn Guidelines‐5: Guidelines for the management of lower leg ulcers and varicose veins, second edition
"Wound, Pressure Ulcer, and Burn Guidelines-5: Guidelines for the management of lower leg ulcers and varicose veins, second edition" is revised from the first edition, which was published in the Japanese Journal of Dermatology in 2011. The guidelines were drafted by the Wound, Pressure Ulcer, and Burn Guidelines Drafting Committee delegated by the Japanese Dermatological Association and intend to facilitate physicians' clinical decisions in preventing, diagnosing and management of lower leg ulcers and varicose veins. We updated all sections by collecting documents published since the publication of the first edition. In particular, we added clinical question 8 (CQ8), which addresses endovenous laser ablation for varicose veins, a procedure that became covered by the Japanese national health insurance after the writing of the first edition, and endovenous radiofrequency ablation, which became covered by national health insurance in 2014. We also rearranged the subsequent clinical question (CQs) for easier reading. While the addition of these new techniques has increased the number of options available within the treatment algorithm, differences have arisen in the indication for surgery depending on the facility performing the treatment. Therefore, these have been abbreviated.
