Abstract: Management of Primary and Secondary Lymphedema: Analysis of 400 Referrals to a Center

However, there are concerns regarding donor site morbidity following LNF harvest. Also, some observations have been made with regards of the effect of LNF on areas of the extremity away from the transferred flap. Herein, we describe the extended right gastroepiploic lymph node flap (RGE-LNF) 3 via laparoscopic approach with a double level flap inset for patients with upper and lower limb lymphe...

Comprehensive review of vascularized lymph node transfers for lymphedema: Outcomes and complications.

INTRODUCTION Lymphedema remains a challenging clinical problem. A new field of lymphatic surgery using micro and super microsurgery techniques is a rapidly advancing field aimed to treat recalcitrant cases. The objective of this study was to evaluate outcomes and complications of vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT). Several early preliminary studies have reported promising outcomes, but the...

Vascularized groin lymph node transfer using the wrist as a recipient site for management of postmastectomy upper extremity lymphedema.

BACKGROUND Restoring the continuity of lymphatic drainage by lymphaticovenous or lymphaticolymphatic anastomosis was observed in the short term to be patent but eventually occluded because the elevated interstitial pressure will cause obliteration of these tiny, thin-walled, low-pressure lumens. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of vascularized groin lymph node transfer usin...

Lymph node flap based on the right transverse cervical artery as a donor site for lymph node transfer.

Lymph node transfer is a novel technique in lymphedema surgery. In this study, we present our experience in harvesting lymph nodes flap based on the right transverse cervical artery. In a period of 7 months, we harvested 11 cervical lymph node flaps based on the right transverse cervical artery (TCA). The reliable anatomy of the TCA and the low complication rate of the donor site make this lymp...

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...
