Underreporting and Underrepresentation of Racial and Ethnic Minority Patients in Lymphedema Clinical Trials: A Systematic Review
This study aims to evaluate racial and ethnic reporting and representation in lymphedema CTs. A comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted during May 2023 using multiple databases, following the PRISMA guidelines. All CTs published from 2018 to 2023 were included. A total of 84 articles were included in this review, from which 6,546 participants were included in the analysis. Seventy-four (88.1%) articles addressed secondary lymphedema, of which 60 (81.1%) were related to breast cancer. Only 12 (13%) of CTs reported at some extend race or ethnicity. Of these, five (41.6%) reported race and two (16.6%) reporte...

Addition of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression to Conventional Treatment Improves Volume Reduction Before Lymphatic Surgery for Lower Limb Lymphedema: A Pilot Study
This study assesses the impact of an advanced intermittent pneumatic compression device (IPC - Lympha Press® Optimal Plus) when added to Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) compared to CDT alone on volume reduction of limbs with lymphedema. The goal is to maximally reduce edema in preparation for microsurgery. Fifty subjects scheduled for Multiple Lymphatic-Venous Anastomosis (MLVA) were randomly (sequentially) assigned to experimental or control group: 25 (21 females and 4 males) in the experimental IPC group and 25 (20 females and 5 males) in the control group. The two groups were similar in age, sex distribution, and t...

Multimodal Treatment of Chylous Fistula: A Retrospective Case-Control Study
This study presents the treatment modalities performed on patients who developed CF over a 10-year period. During the observation period, CF developed in 29 patients, 16 of whom were women. The mean age was 55.76± 13.48. Lymphatic duct injury was mostly seen in the abdomen (58.6%) and the most common reason was nephrectomy (20.7%). Extended lymphatic dissection due to malignancy was performed in 82.7% of all cases. Chylous leakage started postoperatively on 3.78±3.94 days (range: 1-19 days). Fasting, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), and somatostatin treatment were applied to all patients, and 75.8% of the fistulas were ...
