Manual Lymphatic Drainage Versus Pneumatic Compression Pump on Cellulite Post Liposuction

Comparison of intermittent pneumatic compression with manual lymphatic drainage for treatment of breast cancer-related lymphedema.

BACKGROUND The aim of this prospective controlled study was to assess the efficacy of two different combination treatment modalities of lymphedema (LE). Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and compression bandage combination (complex decongestive therapy) have been compared with intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) plus self-lymphatic drainage (SLD). METHODS AND RESULTS Both MLD with compress...

Post-tumescent liposuction care. Open drainage and bimodal compression.

The goals of post-liposuction care must be to minimize edema, bruising, and patient discomfort. The postoperative pain and edema resulting from sutured incisions and prolonged post-liposuction compression is an irrational remnant from the days before the tumescent technique. This article discusses various issues involving post-liposuction care.

Intermittent pneumatic compression acts synergistically with manual lymphatic drainage in complex decongestive physiotherapy for breast cancer treatment-related lymphedema.

The application of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) as a part of complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the combination of IPC with manual lymph drainage (MLD) could improve CDP treatment outcomes in women with secondary lymphedema after breast cancer treatment. A randomized study was undertaken with 13 subjects r...

Efficacy of manual lymphatic drainage and intermittent pneumatic compression pump use in the treatment of lymphedema after mastectomy: a randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND This study has two aims. The first was to investigate the efficacy and contribution of an intermittent pneumatic compression pump in the management of lymphedema, and the second was to evaluate the correlation of our measurement methods. METHODS This study was designed as a controlled clinical trial at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of Ataturk University Facult...
