Background: Preoperative mapping of lymphatic vessels for lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) surgery is frequently performed by indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography solely; however, other imaging modalities, such as ultrasound (US), might be more efficient, particularly for Caucasian patients. We present our preoperative assessment protocol, experience, and approach of using US for locating optimal LVA sites.
Methods: Fifty-six (16 males) lymphedema patients who underwent LVA surgery were included in this study, 5 of whom received two LVA operations.
