Massive localized lymphedema (MLL) is a form of secondary lymphedema caused by obstruction of lymphatic flow seen in morbidly obese patients. Common areas for the large mass include the abdomen, suprapubic region, scrotum, and thigh. Skin changes and the sheer size cause significant morbidity. Described as a benign lymphoproliferative overgrowth, M...
Introduction:
Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is a surgical treatment option for patients with early stage lymphedema. To date, no ideal imaging modality exists for tracking patency of the LVA postoperatively. We hypothesize that laser angiography utilizing indocyanine green (ICG) via the SPY system (Lifecell Corp.) would be a useful methodolog...

... 69 Lymphaticovenous anastomosis is a surgical approach in which NIR lymphography permits the minimally invasive identification of patent lymphatic vasculature, facilitating anastomosis to adjacent venous structures. 70,71 Since the success of the procedure relies upon residual partial lymphatic function and minimal fibrosis, 69 it has its greatest potential impact in early lymphedema. 72 Lymphaticovenous anastomosis has demonstrated efficacy for both primary 73 and secondary lymphedema, 74 including amelioration of limb volume, symptomatology, and quality-of-life [75][76][77] ; however, symptomatic improvement is less commonly achieved in lower extremity lymphedema. ...
