Vascularized Free Lymph Node Flap Transfer in Advanced Lymphedema Patient after Axillary Lymph Node Dissection.
Lymphedema is a condition characterized by tissue swelling caused by localized fluid retention. Advanced lymphedema is characterized by irreversible skin fibrosis (stage IIIb) and nonpitting edema, with leather-like skin, skin crypts, and ulcers with or without involvement of the toes (stage IVa and IVb, respectively). Recently, surgical treatment of advanced lymphedema has been a challenging r...
متن کاملVascularized Lymph Node Flap Transfer and Lymphovenous Anastomosis for Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome with Congenital Lymphedema
SUMMARY A female patient with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, including hypertrophic bone and soft tissue in the forelimbs, bilateral lower limbs lymphedema, port-wine stains, and superficial veins of Servelle, was presented. The diagnosis of lymphedema was confirmed by lymphoscintigraphy and indocyanine green lymphography. The novel treatments consisted of vascularized lymph node transplantation t...
متن کاملGreater Omental Lymph Node Flap for Upper Limb Lymphedema with Lymph Nodes–depleted Patient
BACKGROUND The greater omentum is supplied by the right, middle, and left omental arteries, which arise from the right and left gastroepiploic arteries. All or part of the greater omentum can be harvested based on this blood supply for free tissue transfer. It has stimulated new interest in its use as the donor site in the treatment of lymphedema. For patients who have failed other management o...
متن کاملAbstract: Characterization and Anatomy of Omental Flap and Gastroepiploic Vascularized Lymph Nodes
RESULTS: LVA resulted in 1259 anastomoses using 949 lymphatic vessels at 794 surgical sites. The number of anastomoses per limb ranged from 1 to 16 (median 5). Multivariate analyses revealed that factors associated with larger lymphatic vessel (0.5 mm or larger) were age [65 or older; odds ratio (OR) 1.403], radiation history (OR 1.622), incision in thigh/leg (compared with groin; OR 1.607/1.62...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory effects of flap and lymph node transfer.
BACKGROUND Transfer of healthy tissue is commonly used in the treatment of complicated wounds and in reconstruction of tissue defects. Recently, microvascular lymph node transfer (LN) has been used to improve the lymphatic function in lymphedema patients. To elucidate the biological effects of flap transfer (with and without lymph nodes), we have studied the postoperative production of proinfla...
