Article Synopsis
- Lymphatic fistulas often arise after surgery, leading to ongoing lymphatic leakage and delayed healing; treatment approaches vary from conservative methods to surgical options like lymphatic ligation.
- A study involving 13 patients implemented a new microsurgical technique using indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography to effectively identify and treat these fistulas, with additional procedures performed in some cases.
- The results showed successful treatment in all patients, improving wound healing times and reducing complications, suggesting that ICG-guided techniques may be a more effective management strategy for persistent lymphatic fistulas.
Unlabelled: Microsurgical amelioration of lymphedema has gained much traction in recent years and is now an established modality of treatment for this condition. Despite the development of many newer techniques, lymphaticovenous anastomosis still remains the most frequently carried out microsurgical procedure for lymphedema. One of the most common hurdles faced by lymphatic surgeons while carrying out a lymphaticovenous anastomosis is a mismatch in sizes of the vein and the lymphatic vessels.
