Chronic Venous Disease
Published in James Michael Forsyth, How to Be a Safe Consultant Vascular Surgeon from Day One, 2023
If you did a high tie and strip, or endovenous ablation or foam sclerotherapy, what are your thoughts on compression afterwards?“Irrespective of the procedure I would routinely dress the leg with an adhesive elastic bandage which stays on for 2–3 days, which is followed by 2 weeks of class 2 above-knee compression stockings.”

Treatment usually involves compression bandaging. As there is a risk of an arterial component, an ankle–brachial pressure index (ABPI) should be performed prior to bandaging. This test compares the standard blood pressure measured at the arm to the pressure at the ankle. The lower the figure, the more likely that arterial insufficiency is a factor. A value of 0.8 or above should be obtained if compression bandaging is to be applied. Lower ABPI values suggest a vascular surgery assessment is required. Pressure bandaging has been shown to increase healing rates compared to no compression in clinical trials.61 Multi-component systems containing an elastic bandage appear the most effective. Dressings, placed below compression bandages, can optimise the wound environment to promote healing (seeTable 22.3 for descriptions).62 There is limited evidence available to support the efficacy of any dressing type.63
Intralesional nail therapies

In the case of myxoid pseudocyst, the drug (TA or sclerosant) is injected directly into the cyst cavity after evacuation of the mucinous material (Figure 19.15). The endpoint is a blanch and a turgidity of the pseudocyst, which indicates correct filling of the lesion. This is followed by immediate compression dressing with an elastic bandage for 24 hours. This technique is useful for smaller lesions, or to reduce the size of larger lesions before attempting surgical intervention.

Control group (CG) participants did not perform the protocol and remained at rest for 5 minutes (time required for the technique application in the other groups). Using another elastic bandage was not considered for CG because its application over the skin, even with no tension, could stimulate mechanoreceptors and produce some effects, which would not characterize a CG. In the KT tension group (TG), the participants were positioned with their knee flexed at 90º, then they were submitted to a KT application in Y (Kase, Wallis, and Kase, 2003) on the initial medial third area of the thigh, then extending it to the medial edge of the patella (Figure 1). A black 5-cm-wide elastic bandage (KinesioTex Gold®) with 50% tension on the therapeutic zone and 0% tension on the anchors was applied, respecting the technique of muscular activation proposed by Kase, Wallis, and Kase (2003). In the KT without tension group (WTG), the participants were submitted to the application of KT in the same region as the TG, but without tension in the bandage and with the limb extended.
EEG Electrode-induced Skin Injury among Adult Patients Undergoing Ambulatory EEG Monitoring

It is possible that the use of acetone solution during electrode removal may have contributed to skin irritation. A further comparative study to establish which commercially available water-soluble products used for the removal of electrodes minimize skin irritation/inflammation. Making small changes to the position of the placement of the electrodes at the time of reassessment may also help. When placing T3/T4 electrodes, for example, we can attach these electrodes 5 mm above the eyeglass frames to prevent skin irritation at the temporal regions. As well, bandaging practices may need to change because bandaging by individuals produces unequal and inconsistence pressure on the scalp of patients. The use of tubular elastic bandage or tubular elastic net bandage, which provides equal and consistent pressure may yield improved results in terms of preventing electrode dislodgment and reducing skin irritation/inflammation.
Gynecomastia: glandular-liposculpture through a single transaxillary one hole incision

Thereafter, we carefully examined the contour, shape and symmetry of the breasts with the patient in both the supine and sitting positions. Final contouring, additional liposuction and/or lipectomy by using pituitary forceps were performed to obtain aesthetically satisfying and symmetrical contour of both breasts. The incision sites were closed, and a light compressive dressing was applied. An elastic bandage or compression garment was applied for 1 month after the operation. The surgical process is summarized in Table 2.
