Basic phlebology and lymphology

Product Description

Basic Phlebology and Lymphology is intended for those beginning their journey in phlebology or still in training, as well as for healthcare providers who, though not specialists, care deeply about patients suffering from these prevalent venous and lymphatic diseases. It is particularly valuable in areas where specialized professionals are scarce, and nurses or general practitioners must take the lead in patient management.

Built on visible signs illustrated in numerous pictures, it explains the cornerstones of anamnesis and basic diagnostic steps equipping the reader to distinguish between urgent and non-urgent cases and to recognize which conditions require referral to a specialist. Venous and lymphatic diseases are described, and simple treatment options - such as bandaging - are presented step by step. Treatment approaches are outlined along with their indications and contraindications.

This offers a comprehensive overview aimed at minimizing harm and guiding readers in making wise treatment choices, with awareness of the consequences of both action and wait and see. The book aims to inspire readers to explore further, question established practices, and think independently. Esteemed colleagues and experts have contributed chapters in areas beyond the author's direct experience, significantly enriching the content.
