A Tertiary Care Center's Experience Identifying Pelvic Congestion Syndrome in Patients with Alternative Venous Pathologies
There was a significant improvement in VCSS after treatment in both Groups A and B (P < .0001).Conclusions: While both groups benefited from the standard care for treating venous leg ulcers, the addition of UGFS significantly improved treatment outcomes.UGFS accelerated the healing process, resulting in a shorter time to complete ulcer healing and a higher rate of ulcers achieving complete healing within 3 months.These findings suggest that UGFS is a valuable adjunctive treatment for venous leg ulcers, enhancing the efficacy of standard care protocols.
