Suction blister transplantation for a refractory venous ulcer [Dirençli venöz ülser tedavisinde vakum bülü transplantasyonu]

Abstract

Compression therapy and local wound care remain the cornerstone of the therapy for patients with venous ulcers. For the ulcers which do not respond to conventional therapy, surgical methods should be considered. We present a 75-year-old male patient with refractory venous ulcer who was sucessfully treated with suction blister grafts.
