- Program Summary
- Surgery + combined treatment program for limb lymphedema after cancer treatment.
Lymph flow is increased and lymphedema is improved by lymphatic reconstruction surgery in the affected limb. High-quality lymphatic vessels selected using ultra-high frequency ultrasound are anastomosed to suitable veins in two to three locations.
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and takes about 30 minutes per location. The treatment effect is further enhanced by combining intensive drainage treatment by a lymph therapist before and after surgery and adjustment of the elastic garment.
