“This is a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology, microbiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of leg ulcers. … This is a book for practitioners, particularly general surgeons, vascular surgeons, and wound specialists. … This book does a nice job covering a complex topic in a comprehensive manner. The content and pictures are very good, and it is more comprehensive than other books on this subject.” (Kathleen S. Romanowski, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2016)
