lymph-venous pressure gradient, which is essential for a correct approach to microsurgical treatment of lymphoedemas. With this method, a lymphatic vessel is isolated and cannulated at the lower third of the leg’s medial surface. Any change in the flow-pressure rate can also be recorded during microsurgery, in clino- and orthostatic positions, at rest and under dynamic conditions. These studies have shown that a valuable lymphatic-venous pressure gradient is essential to obtain medium- and long-term results by derivative microsurgery.
[Q2: B, C, E]
Manual lymphatic drainage has been shown to be a highly effective treatment in the conservative management of lymphoedema [17–19]. This is followed by the application of bandaging and eventually graded compression stockings. The use of intermittent compression pneumatic devices is usually complementary to manual lymphatic drainage and may contribute to further reduction of the lymphoedema. Pharmacotherapy includes the use of antibiotics, particularly penicillin [20], anti­inflammatory drugs and benzopyrones [21]. The positive effect of benzopyrones was described by Casley-Smith et al. [21], but their role in the treatment of lym­phoedema has yet to be clarified.
Thirty years ago, there were relatively few therapeutic solutions in the treatment of lymphoedema. Only the most severe and advanced cases of elephantiasis were treated surgically, mainly in order to reduce the volume of lymphoedematous limbs. The most popular surgical methods were those proposed by Charles [22] (total resection of skin-lipid layers), Thompson [23] (drainage with scarred subfascial skin flap), and Servelle [24] (total surface lymphangectomy). Being highly destruc­tive and invasive operations, they could not be recommended in less advanced or initial stages or in childhood disease [25]. More recently, microsurgical lymphatic­venous and lymphnodal-venous anastomoses were introduced for the management of lymphoedema resistant to conservative treatment [26, 27]. These techniques are beneficial in not only secondary but also primary lymphoedemas [28], since early intervention is possible even in young children with some minor modifications of the technique, such as lymphatic-capsule-venous anastomosis [29].
Lymphostatic disease may be associated with venous impairment such as varices, superficial thrombophlebitis, deep venous thrombosis and postphlebitic sequelae. These conditions are a contraindication to traditional lymphatic-venous anastomosis. Therefore, novel reconstructive lymphatic surgery techniques are used [30]. These include segmental autotransplantation of lymphatic collectors [31] for the treatment of monolateral lymphoedema or the personally described method of interposition autologous venous grafting or lymphatic-venous-lymphatic plasty [32].
The use of free microvascular lymphatic or lymph nodal flaps [33, 34] is still in clinical trials. However, it opens up interesting options in the treatment of lym­phoedema that fails to respond to conservative therapy and that, for congenital (aplasia or hypoplasia) or acquired (elephantiasis with diffuse obstructive lymphan­gitis) reasons, cannot benefit from the above-mentioned derivative or reconstruc­tive microsurgical techniques.
Elastic stockings are worn for an average period of 1–5 years after microsurgery according to the stage of the pathology at the time of operation. These stockings aim to prevent the closure of anastomoses in the early postoperative period, follow­ing a rapid reduction of oedema and consequent decrease in lymphatic pressure and flow as a result of the microsurgical drainage [35]. [Q3: A, B, D]
Through a properly planned follow-up at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, and then annu­ally for at least the first 5 years after surgery, lymphatic microsurgery results are

positive in more than 80 per cent of cases, with an even better outcome in patients operated upon precociously (at stages II and III; see Fig. 47a.7). The incidence of lymphangitic attacks decreases significantly after microsurgery. The reduction in oedema volume obtained by microsurgery is seen immediately after operation (within the first three postoperative days), and a further decrease in lym­phoedema is also observed at medium- and long-term follow-up, particularly between the first and fifth years after operation. From the fifth year onwards, the clinical condition of the limb tends to remain stable with time, even more than 10 years after surgery. Lymphangioscintigraphy can document objectively that the flow through the venous graft parallels the clinical improvement over the 10-year period [36]. [Q4]
Turning to the prevention of secondary lymphoedema, early identification of high-risk patients (such as those undergoing oncological lymphadenectomies, par­ticularly in combination with radiotherapy) and early diagnostic lymphan­gioscintigraphy [37] has been suggested [38, 39]. In these cases, early microsurgery is a reasonable option in order to fight, from their very onset, lymphoedemas that, based on a reasonable statistical probability, are expected to show unrelenting progression [40].

Lymphoedema with Liposuction
Håkan Brorson
A 53-year-old woman presented with an 8-year history of oedema of the right arm. Twelve years ago she underwent treatment for right breast cancer. She had mastectomy, removal of lymph glands, and postoperative irradiation. No chemotherapy was given. The arm swelling started gradually without obvious reason. Since the appearance of arm swelling she had experienced three bouts of erysipelas that were treated with penicillin. Two years ago she was treated else­where with combined decongestive therapy (CDT) including manual lymphatic drainage, bandaging and a set of compression garments. She had initially gained some reduction of the excess volume, but no follow-up was done.
Now her main complain was pain and problems with clothing interfering with her everyday activities. She stated that her arm was cosmetically unappealing and that she did not want to see people in public. On examination she had a swollen arm and limited limb movement.
Question 1
What would you do?
A. Perform the pitting test.
B. Perform an MRI.
C. Measure arm volumes.
D. Perform an indirect lymphoscintigraphy.
E. Start controlled compression therapy (CCT) or complete decongestive therapy
(CDT) with the help of a trained lymph therapist.
The pitting test showed pitting of 2 cm (Fig. 47b.1). Arm volume measurements using the formula of the truncated cone showed an excess volume of 2700 ml. She was referred to a lymph therapist for conservative treatment (CDT) to reduce the excess volume. After 2 months the excess volume was reduced from 2700 ml to

2100 ml. Further reduction was not possible in spite of a further 4 weeks’ treatment.
[Q1: A, C]
Marked arm lymphoedema after breast cancer treatment with deep pitting of several centimetres.
Question 2
What would be the next step in the management of this patient?
A. Perform the pitting test.
B. Perform an MRI.
C. Measure arm volumes.
D. Perform an indirect lymphoscintigraphy.
A new pitting test showed minimal pitting (4–5 mm) (Fig. 47b.2). An MRI confirmed your suspicion of excess adipose tissue in the arm (Fig. 47b.3).
Arm volumes were calculated using the formula of the truncated cone and showed an excess volume of 2045 ml (Fig. 47b.4). The patient now wanted further reduction of the excess volume. [Q2: A, B, D]
Question 3
What would you do next?
A. Start conservative therapy again with the help of a trained lymph therapist.
B. Perform lymphatic-venous anastomoses.
C. Perform lymphatic-venous-lymphatic plasties (interposition autologous venous
grafting).
D. Perform transplantation of lymph vessels using vessels from the thigh.
E. Refer the patient for liposuction.

The term “oedema” is at this stage improper as the swelling is dominated by hypertrophied adipose tissue and not lymph. At this stage the aspirate contains no or minimal amount of lymph (Fig. 47b.6).

The patient was operated on with liposuction under bloodless conditions using a
tourniquet (Fig. 47b.5).
After 2 hours the aspirate removed during bloodlessness measured 2100 ml. A standard compression garment was fitted on the arm before the tourniquet was released. The size of the garment was determined from preoperative measurements on the healthy arm. In order to reduce bleeding, tumescent technique was used on the most proximal part of the upped arm that was covered by the tourniquet. Tumescent technique includes infiltration with a saline-adrenaline solution (1 mg adrenaline/1000 ml saline) followed by liposuction. The next day the aspirate had sedimented and showed 92 per cent adipose tissue and 8 per cent fluid (lymph/ interstitial fluid) (Fig. 47b.6).
Following surgery, controlled compression therapy (CCT) was instituted: Two days after surgery measurements were taken for custom-made compression gar­ments, that is, sleeve and glove, two of each. The patient was discharged after 5 days, and was seen after 2 weeks. During the first 2 weeks the patient alternated two standard sets of sleeve-and-glove garments, i.e. two sleeves and two gloves. At the 2-week visit plethysmographic measurement of both arms showed an excess volume of 185 ml (91 per cent reduction). She was fitted with the custom-made com­pression sleeves and gloves ordered on measurements taken 2 days postoperatively.
Fig. 47b.6. This picture shows a typical aspirate of 2000 ml with an adipose fraction of 90 per cent and a fluid fraction of 10 per cent.
The aspirate achieved under bloodless conditions usually contains 90–100 per cent adipose tissue.

During the consecutive follow-up the patient was seen at 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. At the 3-month visit complete reduction was achieved and has lasted ever since. Then, as complete reduction had been achieved, she was seen once a year (see detailed information later in the text regarding CCT). At the last control, 10 years after surgery, an excess volume of –340 ml was registered; thus the treated arm was somewhat smaller than the normal one (Fig. 47b.7).

Question 4
How often, after the first year, is the patient checked when complete reduction has been achieved?
A. Every month.
B. Every 3 months.
C. Twice a year.
D. Once a year.
E. Not necessary.
Question 5
At least how many compression garments (sleeve-and-glove) a year should this patient be provided with?
A. One garment.
B. Two garments.
C. Three garments.
D. Four garments.
E. Garments are not needed.
