Abstract

A growing body of evidence supports the effectiveness of lymphedema surgical procedures at treating primary and secondary lymphedema affecting the upper or lower extremities, including lymphovenous bypass (LVB), vascularized lymph node transplantation (VLNT), suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL), direct excision, and combinations of these procedures. There is also evidence supporting the effectiveness of immediate lymphatic reconstruction (ILR) at reducing the risk of developing lymphedema, in particular upper extremity breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). This chapter reviews the key studies informing this evidence base and the strengths and limitations of the current evidence.
