LONG-TERM RESULTS OF RECONSTRUCTIVE-PLASTIC SURGERIES IN PATIENTS WITH SECONDARY LYMPHOSTASIS OF UPPER EXTREMITIES

Abstract

The analysis of long-term results of reconstructive-plastic surgeries in patients with secondary lymphostaisis of upper extremities has been presented. When conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery is a method of choice for these patients. The extent of surgery depends on the extent of edema (from lymphovenous bypass to the total dermosubdermofasciectomy of the whole extremity with single-stage split thickness skin graft reconstruction).
