Objectives: To provide a narrative review of disordered lymphatic dynamics and its impact on critical care relevant condition management.

Data Sources: Detailed search strategy using PubMed and Ovid Medline for English language articles (2013-2023) describing congenital or acquired lymphatic abnormalities including lymphatic duct absence, injury, leak, or obstruction and their associated clinical conditions that might be managed by a critical care medicine practitioner.

Study Selection: Studies that specifically addressed abnormalities of lymphatic flow and their management were selected.

Premetastatic cancer cells often spread from the primary lesion through the lymphatic vasculature and, clinically, the presence or absence of lymph node metastases impacts treatment decisions. However, little is known about cancer progression via the lymphatic system or of the effect that the lymphatic environment has on cancer progression. This is due, in part, to the technical challenge of studying lymphatic vessels and collecting lymph fluid.

Robotic-assisted surgery has revolutionised modern medicine, enabling greater precision and control, particularly in microsurgical procedures. This systematic review evaluates the current state of robotic-assisted surgery across various specialties, focusing on four major robotic systems: Symani, Da Vinci, ZEUS, and MUSA. The review systematically analyses the effectiveness of these systems in performing vascular, lymphatic, and nervous anastomoses, comparing key metrics such as procedure time, success rates, and learning curves against manual techniques.

Background: Prophylactic lymphovenous bypass (pLVB) is a microsurgical technique aimed to prevent breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) after axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) by redirecting lymphatic flow from the ligated lymphatics into neighboring veins. This report describes the authors' 9-year institutional experience of pLVB in patients undergoing ALND to prevent BCRL.

Methods: Patients who underwent ALND were reviewed.
