The article analyses the results of treatment of trophic ulcers of the lower extremities consequent upon chronic venous insufficiency in 199 elderly patients. Concomitant diseases were encountered in 82% of patients, which called for a differential approach to the choice of the method of treatment. Combined laser therapy in the system of complex treatment in 83 patients proved to be highly effective.
