[Treatment and prevention of postmastectomy lymphedema (our experience)]. 1985

S Modena, and F Abrescia, and A Schönsberg, and G Papaccio, and G Caleffi, and G Castelli

The authors consider the incidence of arm lymphedema after mastectomy. Considering the temporary results which come from surgical practices, either from excision operations or lymphovenous anastomosis, they stress out the importance of the prevention measures and of the physiotherapeutic treatment. This is essential to keep lasting as long as possible the results of the operation when it is necessary because of serious functional deficit. Two cases of Thompson's operation are shown.
