Depending on its genesis, edema must be treated by medication or diet. Simultaneous application of lymph drainage may be beneficial in some cases, especially in combined edema. The manual lymphdrainage is a special method of massage. In some kinds of edema, in particular lymphedema, only therapeutic lymph drainage introduced into medicine by Vodder, Asdonk and Kuhnke can attain an improvement, since there is no drug which acts on the lymphatic system. We report about primary and secondary lymphedemas of the face and head. Secondary lymphedemas are a result of surgical therapy, cancer therapy, irradiation or are caused of tumors or their metastases respectively. Depending on the state of the edema a lymphatic drainage treatment is indicated palliatively.
根据水肿的成因，必须通过药物或饮食进行治疗。在某些情况下，同时进行淋巴引流可能有益，尤其是在合并性水肿中。手法淋巴引流是一种特殊的按摩方法。在某些类型的水肿中，特别是淋巴水肿，由于没有作用于淋巴系统的药物，只有由沃德、阿斯东克和库恩克引入医学的治疗性淋巴引流才能取得改善效果。我们报告面部和头部的原发性和继发性淋巴水肿。继发性淋巴水肿分别是手术治疗、癌症治疗、放疗的结果，或者是由肿瘤或其转移引起的。根据水肿的状态，可酌情进行淋巴引流治疗。
