Journal Contribution - Journal Article
Subtitle:algorithme de prise en charge
Whether primary or secondary, limb lymphedema is a relatively common disease whose impact on the quality of life of patients is important. Although the microsurgical reconstruction techniques seem to be the techniques of choice in the treatment of limb lymphedema, no consensus about treatment of limb lymphedema has yet been defined. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of surgical techniques and their impact on the quality of life of patients, we propose a surgical treatment algorithm of limb lymphedema.
