0. Welcome to the world of Phlebology 4.0! Why and how should the SFP's new digital journal, POL, evolve? Pr BENHAMOU Albert Claude Past-Président de l'Académie nationale de Chirurgie Welcome to the world of Phlebology 4.0 ! Why and how to develop the new digital magazine of the SFP, www.phlebo-online.org (POL) ?

We have entered the era of World 4.0 and therefore Phlebology 4.0 … and we all have to adapt to it. This is the world of big data, artificial intelligence, registers, logbooks, virtual and augmented reality, 3D imaging, robotics, 3D printing, social networks and dematerialised publications, and we know that most SFP members want to have modern, effective continuing education tools at their fingertips. They know that they need to take account of the constant and exponential development of knowledge in all areas of phlebology, which they want to acquire in line with the useful time they can devote to it. This second issue of POL 2024 illustrates this new editorial approach. We are publishing an exclusively digital version of the audiovisual content of the presentations given at the s1st SFP Congress in Paris at the end of 2023.
