Successful treatment of lymphedema in a vasculopath and neuropathic patient.
Successful treatment of lymphedema in a vasculopath and neuropathic patient. Journal of surgical oncology Inchauste, S., Zelones, J., Rochlin, D., Nguyen, D. H. 2019Abstract
This is a case report of a 68-year-old male with stage III right lower extremity lymphedema following right inguinal lymph node dissection and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma. He developed peripheral neuropathy and radiation-induced right femoral artery thrombosis, treated with saphenous vein graft. He underwent three vascularized lymph node transfers (VLNTs) to the upper medial thigh, posterior calf, and ankle with placement of nanofibrillar collagen scaffolds. Three months after surgery, he had volume reduction, less neuropathic pain, and improved ambulation.
