An approach to the management of lymphedema of the extremity is described. Current surgical procedures for this condition are evaluated and it is emphasized that no cure for this difficult problem exists. Available data indicate that physiologically designed procedures which attempt to reconstruct lymph flow are unsuccessful. Currently, subcutaneous excision beneath skin flaps is the most desirable procedure.
本文描述了一种治疗肢体淋巴水肿的方法。对目前针对这种病症的外科手术进行了评估，并强调对于这个难题尚无治愈方法。现有数据表明，试图重建淋巴流动的生理性设计手术并不成功。目前，皮瓣下皮下切除术是最理想的手术方式。
