Arm lymphedema after breast cancer therapy has been treated with various forms of conservative and surgical treatment during recent years. The clinical results usually have modest or, in some instances, even disappointing. In a previous series patients the new liposuction technique combined controlled compression therapy, we found, however, an overall edema reduction 106 percent 1 year. purpose this study was both to investigate how much procedure contributes outcome clarify importance...
Arm lymphedema is a common complication after breast cancer treatment. Although conservative treatment can be used to reduce swelling, often fails, possibly due chronic edema being transformed from lymph fluid subcutaneous fat, condition called nonpitting lymphedema. It currently unknown if the excess volume solely in fat. This study evaluated whether dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) could estimate muscle, and bone tissue patients with arm lymphedema.Eighteen women were investigated....
Background: Arm lymphedema is a common complication after breast cancer treatment. Various types of conservative and surgical treatments have aimed at reducing the arm swelling, but most these failed due to chronic edema eventually being transformed from an accumulation lymph fluid increased deposition subcutaneous fat (i.e., nonpitting lymphedema). Liposuction safe reliable method for excess without recurring it. The objective present study was obtain empirical evidence confirming clinical...
Lymphoedema treatment outcome can be evaluated by calculating estimated limb volumes directly water displacement (plethysmography; PG), or indirectly circumference measurements (CM) and using the formula for a truncated cone. This study assessed correlation between PG volume to assess whether is acceptable, if used accurately arm volume. Ten women with unilateral lymphoedema after breast cancer mean age of 66 (range 50–83) years volunteered estimates measurements. The coefficient variation...
This research describes and evaluates a liposuction surgery multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach for advanced lymphedema of the upper lower extremities.A prospective clinical study was conducted at an Advanced Lymphedema Assessment Clinic (ALAC) comprised specialists in plastic surgery, rehabilitation, imaging, oncology, allied health, Macquarie University, Australia. Between May 2012 31 2014, total 104 patients attended ALAC. Eligibility criteria included (i) unilateral, non-pitting,...
The incidence of lymphoedema the arm after mastectomy ranges between 8% and 38%, it is an appreciable problem from both functional social aspects. Conservative previous surgical regimens have not been completely successful. In light these experiences, liposuction clearly constitutes interesting new approach, which potentially capable effecting predictable reliable improvements in patients with lymphoedema. Twenty eight women breast cancer were consecutively treated by liposuction. Limb...

Abstract Background The incidence of arm lymphoedema after treatment for breast cancer ranges from 1 to 49 per cent. Although most women can be treated by non-operative means with satisfying results, end-stage is often non-responsive compression, where hypertrophy adipose tissue limits the outcome value compression or massage. Methods This was a prospective study 37 unilateral non-pitting lymphoedema. After initial conservative 2–4 days, circumferential suction-assisted lipectomy used remove...
Arm lymphedema is a well-recognized complication after breast cancer surgery that negatively impacts patients' quality of life, both physiologically and psychologically. Lymph stasis inflammation result in excess formation adipose tissue, which makes removal the deposited subcutaneous fat necessary to eliminate volume. Liposuction, combined with postoperative controlled compression therapy (CCT), only treatment gives complete reduction The aim this study was evaluate 5-year results...
Lipedema is a condition characterized by abnormal deposition of adipose tissue in the lower extremities leading to circumferential bilateral extremity enlargement typically seen extending from hips ankles. Diagnosis often challenging, and patients frequently undergo variety unsuccessful therapies before receiving proper diagnosis appropriate management. Patients may experience pain aching addition distress cosmetic appearance their legs resistance fatty changes diet exercise. We report case...
Background: Arm lymphedema after breast cancer surgery affects women both from physical and psychological points of view. Lymphedema leads to adipose tissue deposition. Liposuction controlled compression therapy (CCT) reduces the completely. Methods Results: Sixty female patients with arm were followed for a 1-year period surgery. The 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) was used assess health-related quality life (HRQoL). Patients completed SF-36 questionnaire before liposuction, 1, 3,...
Background: Lymphedema leads to adipose tissue deposition. Water–fat magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can quantify and localize fat water. The presence of excess water/muscle in the subfascial compartment lymphedematous limb has not been investigated before. aim this study was investigate epifascial water contents patients with chronic lymphedema before after liposuction. Methods Results: Seven arm six leg were operated on. limbs examined water–fat MRI liposuction (baseline) at five time...
IN MEMORIAM
Background: Arm lymphedema is a common complication after breast cancer treatment. Different conservative and surgical treatments have been used to reduce the arm swelling, but most failed as chronic edema eventually transforms from state of accumulated lymph fluid into increased deposition subcutaneous fat, i.e. non-pitting lymphedema. Objective: To evaluate changes in tissue tonicity with an electronic tonometer before liposuction. validate tonometer, outcome surgery, aspirate content. If...
