Preplanning Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer with Duplex Ultrasonography: An Evaluation of 3 Donor Sites
BACKGROUND As experience with vascularized lymph node (VLN) transfer has grown, new VLN sources have become apparent. Descriptive studies have elucidated variable lymph node presence in these donor basins. Yet, no study has evaluated preoperative imaging evaluation between donor sites in patients undergoing VLN transfer. This study was to compare the findings on duplex ultrasonography of the su...
متن کاملVascularized 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 کاملAbstract: Establishing the Cost Effectiveness of Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer. Are We There Yet?
INTRODUCTION: Secondary lymphedema is a chronic and debilitating complication of breast cancer therapy affecting more than one in five breast cancer survivors.1 In this patient population, patient-reported outcomes may be more important in predicting long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than clinician measured outcomes.2 Cost-effectiveness analysis can be used to compare different t...
متن کاملThe use of magnetic resonance angiography in vascularized groin lymph node transfer: an anatomic study.
Vascularized groin lymph node transfer (VGLNT) has been successfully used to treat lymphedema. However, lack of familiarity with the inguinal node anatomy and concerns regarding donor site morbidity have limited its widespread use. The purpose of this study was to use magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to clarify the inguinal anatomy and provide a reliable method for identifying the location ...
