Advances in Surgical Lymphedema Management: The Emergence and Refinement of Lymph Node-to-Vein Anastomosis (LNVA)

We describe the unique advantages of LNVA compared to other lymphatic surgical approaches, particularly its effectiveness in managing the fluid component of lymphedema with minimal trauma. Our method, marked by rigorous preoperative planning and surgical precision, consistently delivers favorable outcomes. Additionally, we explore the systemic therapeutic benefits of LNVA, showcasing its capacity for providing not only local but also widespread systemic improvements in patients.SummaryOur LNVA technique is a testament to the ongoing evolution and refinement of surgical techniques in the field of lymphedema management.
