A new technique for treating the lymphedema of extremities
29 patients with lymphedema of extremities were taken into the study. All patients were divided into three groups depending on the way of their treatment. In Group 1 patients had a complex conservative treatment. In Group 2 patients had a lympho-venous by-pass. In Group 3 patients had subfacial autodermoplasty with de-epithelised flaps on the pedicle. On analysing the results of treatment it has been found out that subfacial autodermoplasty with de-epithelised flaps on the pedicle which had been performed in patients from Group 3 was the most clinically effective as compared to patients from other observational groups.
