Liposuction for Advanced Lymphedema in a Multidisciplinary Team Setting in Australia: 5-Year Follow-Up.
[BACKGROUND] Liposuction for International Society of Lymphology late stage 2 or 3 limb lymphedema is an established surgical option to remove excessive adipose tissue deposition and has been performed in Australia since 2012 at the Austral…

Multi-omics characterization of lymphedema-induced adipose tissue resulting from breast cancer-related surgery.
Secondary lymphedema (LE) following breast cancer-related surgery is a life-long complication, which currently has no cure. LE induces significant regional adipose tissue deposition, requiring liposuction as a treatment. Here, we aimed to e…

Complete Reduction of Leg Lymphedema after Liposuction: A 5-Year Prospective Study in 67 Patients without Recurrence.
[BACKGROUND] Lymphedema leads to adipose tissue deposition that cannot be removed using conservative methods. Previous studies have shown a complete reduction in excess volume in limbs with lymphedema when treated with liposuction and contr…

Assessment of local tissue water in breasts following breast reconstruction with an expander prosthesis or DIEP flap.
The role of breast oedema in breast reconstruction is unknown. Therefore, our aim was to investigate local tissue water (LTW) and breast oedema-related symptoms in breasts reconstructed with either an expander prosthesis (EP) or with a deep…

Liposuction of Breast Cancer-Related Arm Lymphedema Reduces Fat and Muscle Hypertrophy.
Adipose tissue deposition is a known consequence of lymphedema. A previous study showed that the affected arm in patients with nonpitting breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) had a mean excess volume of 73% fat and 47% muscle. This condi…

Liposuction and Controlled Compression Therapy Reduce the Erysipelas Incidence in Primary and Secondary Lymphedema.
[BACKGROUND] Skin infections are a recurring problem for people with lymphedema, and lymphedema has been proven to be the single most important risk factor for developing erysipelas in the leg. This study aimed to determine whether liposuct…

Adipocytes are larger in lymphedematous extremities than in controls.
Lymphedema is caused by dysfunctional lymph vessels or as a complication of cancer treatment leading to edema and adipose tissue deposition. One hypothesis is that adipocyte hypertrophy contributes to the volume increase in lymphedema. The …

Power-assisted Liposuction for Lymphedema: A Cost-utility Analysis.
[UNLABELLED] Lymphedema is a chronic, debilitating disease that has been described as the largest breast cancer survivorship burden. Debulking surgery has been shown to improve extremity volume, improve patient quality of life, and decrease…

Quality of Life Improvements in Patients with Lymphedema After Surgical or Nonsurgical Interventions with 1-Year Follow-Up.
Lymphedema may impact patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The purpose of this study was to evaluate HRQoL after two different treatments to the 12-month follow-up point. Study participants were patients with moderate lymphede…
-
In vivo comparison of MRI-based and MRS-based quantification of adipose tissue fatty acid composition against gas chromatography.
[PURPOSE] To compare MR-based fatty acid composition (FAC) quantification methods against the gold standard technique, gas chromatography (GC), with comparison of a free and a constrained signal model. The FAC was measured in the healthy an…

Assessment of Subfascial Muscle/Water and Fat Accumulation in Lymphedema Patients Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
In patients with arm or leg lymphedema, more fat has been found in the epifascial compartment of the edematous limb compared to the healthy limb. However, not much is known about subfascial fat accumulation in these patients. This study aim…

Liposuction Treatment of Lymphedema.
In the Western world, lymphedema most commonly occurs following treatment of cancer. Limb reductions have been reported utilizing various conservative therapies including manual lymph and pressure therapy, as well as by microsurgical recons…

Lymphedema Leads to Fat Deposition in Muscle and Decreased Muscle/Water Volume After Liposuction: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.
[BACKGROUND] Lymphedema leads to adipose tissue deposition. Water-fat magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can quantify and localize fat and water. The presence of excess fat and excess water/muscle in the subfascial compartment of the lymphede…
-
Test of Responsiveness and Sensitivity of the Questionnaire "Lymphedema Quality of Life Inventory".
[BACKGROUND] Lymphedema may affect patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and thus a disease-specific questionnaire is needed. The Lymphedema Quality of life Inventory (LyQLI) has been tested for reliability and validity. The purp…

Liposuction Gives Complete Reduction of Arm Lymphedema following Breast Cancer Treatment-A 5-year Prospective Study in 105 Patients without Recurrence.
[BACKGROUND] Arm lymphedema is a well-recognized complication after breast cancer surgery that negatively impacts patients' quality of life, both physiologically and psychologically. Lymph stasis and inflammation result in excess formation …

SF-36 Shows Increased Quality of Life Following Complete Reduction of Postmastectomy Lymphedema with Liposuction.
[UNLABELLED] Abstracts Background: Arm lymphedema after breast cancer surgery affects women both from physical and psychological points of view. Lymphedema leads to adipose tissue deposition. Liposuction and controlled compression therapy (…
-
Liposuction in Lymphedema Treatment.
[BACKGROUND] Lymphedema leads to early deposition of adipose tissue. This may explain why conservative therapies such as complex decongestive therapy (CDT) and controlled compression therapy (CCT), as well as various forms of microsurgical …

Liposuction of Postmastectomy Arm Lymphedema Decreases the Incidence of Erysipelas.
The objective of this study was to assess erysipelas incidence before and after liposuction treatment for patients suffering from post-mastectomy lymphedema. A prospective cohort study of 130 patients at Skåne University Hospital in Malmö, …
