Sclerotherapy Manual for Doctors explains all the the elements, techniques, and protocol involved in Sclerotherapy via the Ten Step Sclerotherapy Cycle. All elements and phases of Sclerotherapy are broken down both from a medical and managerial point of view.

Each chapter/step constitutes a milestone within the Sclerotherapy cycle. Chapters are presented in the same logical order in which the task occurs when treating a patient’s varicose disease. Throughout the book forms/checklists are provided to summarize the duties and responsibilities of all personnel involved doctors, nurses, therapists, and administrators. These forms/checklist will enable all parties to have a clear tool for communication. Thus ensuring the successful implementation of Sclerotherapy.
