Lymphaticovenous anastomosis for advanced‐stage lower limb lymphedema
Microsurgery, 2021Early‐stage lymphedema patients are said to be candidates for lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA). The progressions in the preoperative examinations have made it possible to find the suitable lymphatic vessels even in advanced‐stage lymphedema. The aim of

Despite our improved knowledge of the lymphatic system, lymphedema remains an incurable disease. Its pathogenesis is still poorly understood, but fortunately the majority of patients can be satisfactorily managed by conservative means. Surgical intervention is offered only in cases of refractory disease and does not offer a surgical cure.

Lymphedema is the chronic, progressive swelling of tissue due to inadequate lymphatic function. Over time, protein-rich fluid accumulates in the tissue, causing it to enlarge. Lymphedema is a specific disease and should not be used as a generic term for an enlarged extremity. The diagnosis is made by evaluating the history and physical examination, and

AbstractLymphedema is often diagnosed by its characteristic clinical presentation. In some cases, however, instrumental investigations are necessary to establish the diagnosis, particularly in early stages of the disease. One of the primary problems for microsurgery in treating lymphedema consists of the discrepancy between the excellent technical ...

The basic principle of the management of lymphedema is so called complex decongestive physical therapy. This therapy is divided into two phases: (i) edema reduction phase--an initial intensive treatment phase aiming for limb volume reduction; and (ii) maintenance phase--following long-term phase to sustain a manageable limb volume.

Lymphedema is swelling that results from the accumulation of lymph due to a malformation or obstruction of the lymphatic system. Once other causes (cardiac, renal, and hepatic) of lower extremity edema have been ruled out, categorization into primary and secondary lymphedema is undertaken.

Lymphedema of the eyelids is a relatively rare condition whose main effect is to obstruct vision, and it is unsightly. We present 3 cases in which the edema was treated by excision and skin grafting of the eyelid, with satisfactory functional and cosmetic results. It is suggested that a split-skin graft be used for the upper eyelid and a full-thickenss

Lymphedema of the extremities is well documented in the literature. We present a case of lymphedema involving the face of a 27-year-old man and discuss the clinical presentation, microscopic findings, and surgical treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first such case report in the literature.

Changing the Paradigm: Lymphovenous Anastomosis in Advanced Stage Lower Extremity Lymphedema
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2020Background: Traditionally, lymphovenous anastomosis is not routinely performed in patients with advanced stage lymphedema because of difficulty with identifying functioning lymphatics.
