متن کاملSingle Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis for Early-Stage Lower Extremity Lymphedema Treated by the Superior-Edge-of-the-Knee Incision Method
Background Surgical treatment of lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) remains challenging. Application of the superior-edge-of-the-knee incision method for lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) is reported to have a strong therapeutic effect in patients with LEL because lymph-to-venous flow at the anastomosis is enhanced by knee joint movement during normal walking. We investigated whether a single L...

متن کاملEstimating Lymphodynamic Conditions and Lymphovenous Anastomosis Efficacy Using 99mTc-phytate Lymphoscintigraphy with SPECT-CT in Patients with Lower-limb Lymphedema
BACKGROUND Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for lower-limb lymphedema have not yet been established. The purpose of this study was to estimate the lymphodynamic condition and therapeutic efficacy of lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) in lower-limb lymphedema patients using 2-phase (99m)Tc-phytate lymphoscintigraphy with single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT)....
