Successful treatment of early‐stage lower extremity lymphedema with side‐to‐end lymphovenous anastomosis with indocyanine green lymphography assisted

Abstract

Side-to-end LVA can be an effective treatment for early-stage lower extremity lymphedema. ICG lymphodynamic assessment is useful not only in the preoperative identification of functional lymphatics but also in the intraoperative visualization of new drainage routes in LVA surgery. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
