Surgical treatment program for limb lymphedema after cancer treatment.
Lymphatic flow reconstruction surgery in the affected limb increases lymph flow and improves lymphedema.

The procedure is performed as a same-day outpatient surgery.
Suture removal is scheduled approximately 1 week after surgery.
A postoperative follow-up examination will also be scheduled.
