[Technique of lymphatic-venous anastomosis. Initial results in secondary lymphedema]. 1981

R Milleret

The author describes the operatory technique and the protocole of post-operatory treatment carried out in three cases of secondary lymphoedema. He suggests a new sort of lympho-venous anastomosis using a venous collateral in which the lymph is cuffed. The short-term results are satisfactory, but the possibility of relapse or of spreading neoplasm lessens the patient's chances of complete recovery and means that the technique should only be used very selectively.
