Liposuction as an effective treatment for lower extremity lymphoedema: A single surgeon's experience over nine years
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery Dec 03, 2017
Stewart CJ, et al. - In this article, authors presented a single surgeon's experience with liposuction for the treatment of lower extremity lymphoedema. Outcomes revealed that, for treatment of primary and secondary lower extremity lymphoedema (LEL), liposuction combined with continuous compression therapy (CCT) is a safe and effective option. This technique resulted in a significant reduction of the original excess limb volume. The poorest outcomes were observed in male patients with primary lymphoedema. This treatment seemed most effective in limbs with secondary lymphoedema.
