Surgically invasive procedures involving the medial knee and inguinal regions can cause lymphedema. Lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) could improve volume reduction and decrease the risk of cellulitis. However, it may be preferable to performed LVA as early as possible to achieve optimal results.

Background And Objectives: Neurogenic bladder (NB), a complication of gynecological cancer treatment, entails significant symptoms such as loss of urinary urgency, incontinence, and renal dysfunction. To investigate whether lymphatic fluid stagnation at the pelvis causes NB, we investigated the effectiveness of lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) for NB.
Methods: In this retrospective study between 2014 and April 2024, LVA was performed on 52 patients complaining of preoperative urinary dysfunction with lower extremity lymphedema following pelvic lymphadenectomy in gynecologic cancer treatment.

The evolution in microsurgery using high-definition three-dimensional (3D) cameras has provided the opportunity to replace conventional operating microscopes (OM), improving ergonomics for microsurgeons. Several 3D exoscope systems have already demonstrated good surgical field visualization in a 3D space in performing microvascular anastomosis with favorable maneuverability and non-inferiority compared to OM. We present the application of the 4K-3D ORBEYE system (Olympus Inc.

Background And Objectives: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a pocket-sized ultrasound device in preoperative planning for lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) to enhance lymphedema treatment outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 24 patients who underwent LVA for secondary upper extremity lymphedema between June 2020 and August 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups: the ultrasound group, which used a pocket-sized device (Vscan Air), for preoperative vein identification, and a control group that did not.
