“…Although in the current study the number of patients for detecting thrombotic events was small, two recent meta-analysis found no differences in complications when comparing no compression to compression. 16,17 There was no difference in postoperative bleeding between the study groups in 10 days follow-up and included only minor bleeding requiring a change of the adhesive dressing at home or no action at all. Concomitant foam sclerotherapy was performed in both groups in order to reduce the need for additional treatment later.…”

Background The benefits of postoperative compression are not well established following radiofrequency ablation of the truncal vein and concomitant foam sclerotherapy. Methods A total of 104 patients were randomized: Postoperatively, 54 patients received no compression and 50 patients received class II thigh-high compression. The primary outcome for this study was the difference between means on postoperative pain scores over the first 10 days follow-up measured on a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 to 100 mm (prespecified delta 10 mm). Results The difference between means in no compression and compression group on postoperative pain scores over the 10 days follow-up was 2.1 mm (95% confidence interval −5.1–9.3 mm; p = 0.28) indicating non-inferiority. Patients in the no compression group were more satisfied with the visual appearance of the treated leg at 1 month ( p = 0.003). Conclusion Over the first 10 postoperative days, no compression was non-inferior to compression on pain scores.

SummaryCompression therapy is a conservative therapy that can be used in many patients with dermatological conditions, especially those associated with edema. In addition to its well‐established use in venous and lymphatic disorders, there is increasing evidence that compression therapy supports the healing of inflammatory dermatoses. The presence of edema, regardless of its etiology, is an indication for the use of compression therapy.Nowadays, a variety of materials and treatment options are available for compression therapy, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Often, compression therapy with low resting pressures is sufficient for effective therapy and is better tolerated by patients. The main contraindications to compression therapy are advanced peripheral arterial disease and decompensated heart failure.Individual factors and economic considerations should be taken into account when deciding on compression therapy with the patient. Patient self‐management should be encouraged whenever possible. This requires education and support tools.

ZusammenfassungDie Kompressionstherapie ist eine konservative Therapie, die bei vielen Patienten mit dermatologischen Krankheiten durchgeführt werden kann, insbesondere wenn diese mit Ödemen assoziiert sind. Neben den wissenschaftlich sehr gut belegten Indikationen bei venösen und lymphatischen Erkrankungen, gibt es auch zunehmend wissenschaftliche Hinweise, dass durch die Kompressionstherapie die Abheilung entzündlicher Dermatosen unterstützt wird. Wenn Ödeme vorliegen, handelt es sich, unabhängig von deren Genese, um einen Einsatz im Rahmen der Zulassung der Kompressionstherapie.Für die Kompressionstherapie stehen heute verschiedene Materialien und Versorgungsoptionen mit systemspezifischen Vor‐ und Nachteilen zur Verfügung. Oft ist eine Kompressionstherapie mit niedrigen Ruhedruckwerten für einen Therapieerfolg ausreichend und wird von den Patienten besser toleriert. Als wichtigste Kontraindikationen der Kompressionstherapie sind die fortgeschrittene periphere arterielle Verschlusskrankheit und die dekompensierte Herzinsuffizienz zu beachten.Bei der gemeinsam mit dem Patienten getroffenen Entscheidung für eine Kompressionstherapie, sollten individuelle Faktoren und wirtschaftliche Aspekte berücksichtigt werden. Wann immer möglich, ist ein Selbstmanagement des Patienten zu unterstützen. Hierfür sind Edukation und Hilfsmittel erforderlich.
