Lymphaticovenous Bypass: Adaptations and Lessons Learned
Advances in microsurgical instruments and techniques have allowed for introduction of lymphaticovenous anastomosis as a potential surgical treatment for patients with upper and lower extremity lymphedema. This article reviews the approach to lymphaticovenous anastomosis patient selection and technical modifications that improve the ease and efficiency of the procedure.
متن کاملLymphaticovenous Anastomosis Releases the Lower Extremity Lymphedema-associated Pain
BACKGROUND We investigate the effectiveness of lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) in releasing lymphedema-associated pain. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis. Subjects of this study included lower extremity lymphedema patients who presented persistent and constant degrees of pain in their lower limbs. LVA was performed under local anesthesia. The preoperative lower extremity pain a...
متن کاملUsefulness of preoperative echography for detection of lymphatic vessels for lymphaticovenous anastomosis
Case 1: A 63-year-old woman with secondary lower limb lymphedema. As it was difficult to detect the lymphatic vessels in the right thigh in indocyanine green lymphography because of thick fat, we tried echography and observed circular structures beneath the superficial fascia. Intraoperatively, we found a dilated lymphatic vessel just as observed on echography. Case 2: A 45-year-old woman with ...
متن کاملLymphaticovenous anastomosis for facial lymphoedema after multiple courses of therapy for head-and-neck cancer.
Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is a treatment for lymphoedema that can improve lymph circulation by the anastomosis of lymph vessels and veins. A therapeutic effect of LVA for lymphoedema has been shown in limbs, but efficacy for other regions has not been shown. Lymphoedema in the head-and-neck region following cancer resection and radiotherapy is mainly treated with manual lymphatic drain...
متن کاملLymphedema of the Lower Extremities due to Refractory Malignant Lymphoma Treated by Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis
Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is primarily performed for lymphedema of the lower extremities after surgical treatment of gynecologic cancer and lymphedema of the upper extremities after surgical resection of breast cancer; however, LVA for lymphedema due to malignant lymphoma has not been reported to date. We herein present a patient with severe lymphedema of the lower extremities due to r...
