Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article.

Effectiveness of Supramicrosurgical Lymphatico-venular Anastomosis in Treating Recurrent Lymphatic Fistulas: A Case Series

“…Regarding lymphocyst, Giacalone et al reported the use of supermicrosurgery in 13 patients affected by lymphocele, 10,11) . Mihara et al reported positive outcomes in a case of pudendal lymphorrhea treated with s-LVA and reduction of cellulitis in lymphoedema patients 12) .…”

Clinical applicability of autologous great saphenous vein for living donor liver transplantation

“…Skipped tunnel incision and an endoscopic approach are alternative ways to improve the cosmetic aspect [6]. The skin incision should be meticulously repaired with a suction drain because of the risk of lymphocele formation [7]. The harvested GSV is often dilated by hydraulic pressure to increase its diameter.…”

The use of superficial circumflex iliac perforator (SCIP) pedicle vein for lymphovenous anastomosis to treat inguinal lymphatic fistula: A case report

“…Lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) is a microsurgical procedure that has been increasingly recognized for its efficacy in managing lymphatic complications such as lymphocele, lymphedema, and recently also lymphatic fistulas (Imai et al, 2021). The inguinal region, due to its rich lymphatic network, is particularly susceptible to lymphatic sequelae following surgical interventions, especially those performed for oncological purposes (Williams & Rabbani, 2011).…”
