Review of current surgical treatments for lymphedema.

Granzow JW1, Soderberg JM, Kaji AH, Dauphine C.Author information 1UCLA Division of Plastic Surgery, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, CA, USA, DrJay@PlasticSurgery.LA.AbstractBACKGROUND: The current mainstay of lymphedema therapy has been conservative nonsurgical treatment. However, surgical options for lymphedema have been reported for over a century. Early surgical procedures were often invasive and disfiguring, and they often had only limited long-term success. In contrast, contemporary surgical techniques are much less invasive and have been shown to be effective in reducing excess limb volume, the risk of cellulitis, and the need for compression garment use and lymphedema therapy. Microsurgical procedures such as lymphaticovenous anastomosis and vascularized lymph node transfer lymphaticolymphatic bypass can treat the excess fluid component of lymphedema swelling that presents as pitting edema. Suction-assisted protein lipectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that addresses the solid component of lymphedema swelling that typically occurs later in the disease process and presents as chronic nonpitting lymphedema. These surgical techniques are becoming increasingly popular and their success continues to be documented in the medical literature. We review the efficacy and limitations of these contemporary surgical procedures for lymphedema.

An effective system of surgical treatment of lymphedema.

Granzow JW1, Soderberg JM, Kaji AH, Dauphine C.Author information 1UCLA Division of Plastic Surgery, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA, drjay@plasticsurgery.la.AbstractBACKGROUND: Effective surgical treatments for lymphedema now can address the fluid and solid phases of the disease process. Microsurgical procedures, including lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT), target the fluid component that predominates at earlier stages of the disease. Suction-assisted protein lipectomy (SAPL) addresses the solid component that typically presents later as chronic, nonpitting lymphedema of an extremity. We assess the outcomes of patients who underwent selective application of these three surgical procedures as part of an effective system to treat lymphedema.
