[Evaluation of the objectivity of data obtained in direct lymphography in patients with post-mastectomy syndrome].

The post-mastectomy syndrome in 151 patients was investigated by direct lymphography with intra-operative determination of endolymphatic pressure and lymph node biopsy in 42 cases. Results allowed classification into 4 groups as a function of course of lymphatic lesions and selection of patients for either bypass or resection surgery.
