Efficacy of Immediate Lymphatic Reconstruction in Prevention of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Microsurgery
ABSTRACT Background Immediate lymphatic reconstruction (ILR) is a technique in which lymphatics are visualized and lymphovenous bypass is done at the time of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) to prevent breast cancer‐related lymphedema (BCRL). This meta‐analysis estimates the benefit of ILR in preventing lymphedema by incorporating double‐ and ...

Using the Indocyanine Green (ICG) Lymphography to Screen Breast Cancer Patients at High Risk for Lymphedema

Diagnostics, 2022
Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography is a newer technique for diagnosing lymphedema. Our study aimed to find whether the abnormality of ICG lymphography can predict the occurrence of early lymphedema and then select candidates at high risk of
