Background
This study evaluated the long‐term clinical outcomes among different vascularized lymph node transfers (VLNT) used at our institution.
Methods
Between July 2010 and July 2016, all patients with International Society of Lymphology (ISL) stages II‐III who underwent VLNT were evaluated. Demographic and clinical data (limb circumference, infectious episodes, lymphoscintigraphic studies)...
Between 2010 and 2016, 110 patients with extremity lymphedema underwent vascularized lymph node (VLN) transfer: groin (G‐VLN = 20), supraclavicular (SC‐VLN = 54), and right gastroepiploic (RGE‐VLN = 36) open and laparoscopic approach. Herein, we discuss the pearls and pitfalls for VLN harvest and compare donor site morbidity and complications. Lymphatic leakage: G‐VLN (n = 1) and SC‐VLN (n = 1) and...
