Primary lower extremity and genital lymphoedema (GL) is difficult to manage, especially when complicated with severe lymphorrhea. With abundant experience of treatment for lower-extremity lymphoedema (LEL), we performed simultaneous multi-site lymphaticovenular anastomoses (LVAs) for GL with severe lymphorrhea. In two cases of primary LEL and GL, LVAs were performed via 2-cm-long skin incisions using two to three operating microscopes under local anaesthesia. Symptoms of oedema and lymphorrhea improved clinically. LVA is a minimally invasive surgery, which is effective for the treatment of LEL and GL even in primary cases with severe lymphorrhea. Simultaneous multi-site LVAs can serve as the most effective therapy for lymphoedema.
原发性下肢和生殖器淋巴水肿(GL)难以治疗,尤其是当伴有严重淋巴液渗出时。我们在治疗下肢淋巴水肿(LEL)方面经验丰富,对伴有严重淋巴液渗出的 GL 进行了同时多部位淋巴管静脉吻合术(LVAs)。在两例原发性 LEL 和 GL 患者中,在局部麻醉下使用两到三个手术显微镜通过 2cm 长的皮肤切口进行 LVAs。水肿和淋巴液渗出的症状在临床上得到改善。LVA 是一种微创外科手术,即使在原发性严重淋巴液渗出的情况下,对 LEL 和 GL 的治疗也非常有效。同时多部位 LVA 可作为淋巴水肿最有效的治疗方法。
