Lymphovenous anastomosis is a physiologic microsurgical approach to lymphedema treatment. Patient selection requires assessment of disease stage and the presence of functioning lymphatic vessels. At Ahvar Clinic, indications should be determined by a specialist experienced in lymphatic surgery.
What it addresses / benefits
- surgical treatment of lymphedema in selected patients
- creation of an alternative lymph drainage pathway
- supermicrosurgical technique
- potential reduction in swelling
- integration into comprehensive lymphedema care.
Preparation
Specialized assessment of lymphedema stage and lymphatic function is required. Conservative treatment is usually considered before surgery.
How the procedure is performed
Under microsurgical magnification, suitable lymphatic vessels are connected to small veins, creating alternative drainage pathways into the venous system.
Result / recovery
Effectiveness varies between patients. Surgery does not guarantee complete resolution of lymphedema and may remain one component of comprehensive treatment.
