“…It was shown that the identification of SLNs via NIR is technically simpler, more reliable, and associated with increased SLN detection rates, compared with other techniques, which may be explained by the smaller particle size of fluorescent agents facilitating a faster spill into secondary lymph nodes [74][75][76]. Lately, several metareviews in human medicine have confirmed NIR imaging using ICG as a reliable mapping technique compared with the gold standard lymphoscintigraphy [35,77]. After NIR SLN mapping in dogs was initially described in experimental studies in dogs and pigs [50], it is now gaining increased interest in veterinary surgical oncology [14,49,52].…”

The Role of Sentinel Node Mapping and Lymphadenectomies in Veterinary Surgical Oncology

Lymph node status is an important prognostic factor in multiple oncologic conditions in humans and companion animals. In addition, the resection of the affected nodes can have a substantial therapeutic effect on various cancer subtypes in both species. Given the impact on prognosis and management, it is paramount to identify and remove affected nodes. While this can be achieved by removing predefined patterns of nodes (regional lymphadenectomy/resection of defined lymphatic stations), modern approaches increasingly utilize sentinel node mapping to identify the draining nodes to decrease the mortality of lymphadenectomies. Recent studies have shown that dogs have more comparable anatomy of the lymphatic system to humans than other animal models such as rodents or pigs. Given the fact that dogs develop spontaneous cancer types that share several similarities to their human counterparts, they represent a valuable translational model. The management of the lymphatic basin and sentinel node mapping have gained increased attention in veterinary surgical oncology in recent years. The present review aims at summarizing the resulting findings and their impact on patient management.

“…LRS in this study was designed (by TW) to protect lymphatic (and venous) vessels and improve patient outcomes as follows: (1) Patients were asked to follow conservative lipedema management, as published ( See table, Supplemental Digital Content 2, http://links.lww.com/PRSGO/C892 ). 26 (2) Presurgical mapping of the principal superficial veins and lymphatic structures in surgical sites (arms or legs) was performed using vascular Doppler ultrasound (Terason 3000) with a 12-20 MHz linear probe 16 , 17 or indocyanine green direct lymphography. 27 (3)The patients were given 2 mg oral lorazepam 2 hours before arrival and upon arrival, oral narcotic pain medication, and additional lorazepam and nitrous oxide/oxygen gas mixture if needed; an intravenous line was started after preoperative oral sedation.…”

“…However, lymphatic vessels are dilated and tortuous in the legs of women with lipedema, even in early stages of the disease. 16,17 Lymphedema is a comorbidity, 18 and lymphatic injury can occur after liposuction. [19][20][21] Up to 50% of women with lipedema also have venous disease.…”

“… 15 The principal superficial lymphatic collecting ducts have been well described and run in or adjacent to the great and small saphenous sheaths. 17 , 18 There are no clinical trials that examine whether presurgical mapping of venous and lymphatic structures improves the safety of LRS. However, lymphatic vessels are dilated and tortuous in the legs of women with lipedema, even in early stages of the disease.…”

Background: Lipedema is a chronic inflammatory subcutaneous adipose-rich connective tissue disease affecting millions of women worldwide. Disproportionate fat accumulation on the extremities characterized by heaviness, tenderness, and swelling can affect function, mobility, and quality of life. Treatments include conservative measures and lipedema reduction surgery (LRS). Here, we report lipedema comorbidities and surgical techniques, outcomes measures, and complications after LRS. Methods: This is a single outpatient clinic retrospective chart review case series of comorbidities and complications in 189 women with lipedema. Bioelectrical impedance analyses, knee kinematics, gait, physical examinations, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System, and RAND Short Form-36 questionnaires collected before and after LRS were analyzed for 66 of the 189 women. Hemoglobin levels were measured by transdermal hemoglobin monitor (Masimo noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring; Irvine, Calif.). Results: Common comorbidities in 189 women were hypermobile joints (50.5%), spider/varicose veins (48.6/24.5%), arthritis (29.1%), and hypothyroidism (25.9%). The most common complication in 5.5% of these women after LRS was lightheadedness with a 2-g reduction or more in hemoglobin. After conservative measures and LRS in 66 women, significant improvements (P ≤ 0.0009) were found for: (1) knee flexion (10 degrees); (2) gait; (3) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System T-score (16%); (4) mobility questions: gait velocity, rising from a chair, stair ascent; (5) RAND Short Form-36 scores: physical functioning, energy/fatigue, emotional well-being, social function, general health; (6) and Bioelectrical impedance analyses total and segmental body fat mass. Conclusion: LRS provided significant improvements to women with lipedema using direct physical measurements and validated outcome measures, comparable to those seen after total knee replacement.
