Although further study is required to determine factors leading to anastomotic obstruction and to optimize the results of microlymphatic surgery, the present LVSEA technique appears promising.
The net effect of LVSEA on volume reduction was confirmed, but was not particularly large. The need for CDP decreased in some patients postoperatively, and these patients should be considered for evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
