To study a new method of treatment for upper limb lymphedema after radical mastectomy.
From Jun. 2001 to Sep. 2003, 11 cases (2 with complication of erysipelas) of upper limb lymphedema being treated with radical mastectomy for more than 2 years were used as model. All the edema of limbs was sucked from hypodermis with liposuction technique and compressed with compression garment. Three months after operation, elasticity stress was conducted every night.
The reduction of the edema of upper limbs was remarkable. The average decrease of circumference was 4 cm. No erysipelas was observed.
The liposuction technique and elasticity stress is a new and effective approach to the treatment of upper limb lymphedema.
研究一种治疗乳腺癌根治术后上肢淋巴水肿的新方法。
选取2001年6月至2003年9月期间，11例乳腺癌根治术后上肢淋巴水肿超过2年的患者（其中2例并发丹毒）作为研究对象。采用吸脂技术从皮下吸出所有肢体水肿，并使用加压衣进行加压。术后3个月，每晚进行弹性应力治疗。
上肢水肿明显减轻。平均周长减少4厘米。未观察到丹毒。
吸脂技术和弹性应力是治疗上肢淋巴水肿的一种新的有效方法。
