“…16 Also, continuous negative pressure wound therapy and Unna boot which are applied in addition to compression bandage for lymphedematous leg with infected decubitus ulcers have been found to be effective. 14,17 In our case, before the CDT, four-layer bandaging technique (1 orthopedic wool bandage, 1 light support bandage, 1 light compression bandage, 1 cohesive extensible bandage) was employed to cure the accompanying cellulitis and infection. Multilayer bandaging is one of the steps of CDT and cellulite constitutes a contraindication for this treatment.…”

[49,50] Modifications of Charles procedure (combining with VLNT and preservation of superficial veins) have helped to reduce worsening of distal edema and to prevent recurrent cellulitis. [51] Staged subcutaneous excisions beneath skin flaps are still required in advanced lymphedematous limbs with skin excess, but the raised skin flaps frequently have poor vascularity.…”
