Abstract
The case study described in this article shows the use of different approaches and techniques that need to be utilised when treating patients presenting with a combination of venous and lymphatic disease (lymphovenous) in order to improve complex wound outcomes. The author highlights how lymphoedema can affect the wound healing process by increasing the risk of recurrent infection and a hardening of the tissues (fibrosis), reducing oxygenation and lymphatic flow to the wound, leading to chronic complex wounds.
