Explains the pathophysiological and experimental basis for the described procedures

This book represents an up-to-date overview of reconstructive lymphovascular surgery, with coverage of all aspects from the bench to the bedside. After careful consideration of the pathophysiological and experimental basis for the described procedures, concise guidance is provided in the treatment of various conditions. Surgical technique is explained for the important indication of lymphedema of the upper and lower limbs due to localized blockage of the lymphatic system. Further important indications for which the surgical procedure is fully described include lymphoceles and lymph fistulas. Means of verifying results, especially important in the case of newer techniques, are discussed and the results obtained with the different techniques are extensively presented. The book will be an informative and instructive guide to current possibilities of reconstructive lymph vascular surgery and for interested readers in the fields of angiology, dermatology, gynecology, oncology, phlebology, physiotherapy, and surgery.
