Short term treatment of secondary lymphedema with hyaluronidase injections reduces mouse hindlimb lymphedema
J Plast Surg Hand Surg. 2023 Jun 20;58:40-47. doi: 10.2340/jphs.v58.7791.ABSTRACTLymphedema is a common complication following breast cancer treatment with axillary lymphadenectomy and radiotherapy. Currently, there is no curative treatment for this disease, hence there is a need for new therapeutic suggestions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hyaluronidase (HYAL) injections after inducing hindlimb lymphedema in 36 female C57BL/6 mice. HYAL injections were administered every second day for 14 days in three groups: (1) HYAL for 1 week followed by saline for 1 week, (2) HYAL for 2 weeks, and (3) saline...
