Overview

A surgical approach using lymphaticovenous anastomosis improves outcomes in lymphedema, indicating effective prevention of venous reflux.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the treatment outcomes of lymphaticovenous anastomosis in lower extremity lymphedema while minimizing venous reflux.
  • Implemented a surgical protocol for lymphaticovenous anastomosis
  • Focused on preventing venous reflux during the procedure
  • Evaluated treatment outcomes among patients with lower extremity lymphedema
  • Reported variability in treatment outcomes from lymphaticovenous anastomosis
  • Demonstrated the hypothesis that venous hydrostatic pressure is not the primary cause of lymphedema
