Donor site in anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flaps: A systematic review of closure techniques and introduction of a management algorithm.
The anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap is widely used in reconstructive microsurgery for its versatility and reliability, yet donor site management becomes challenging when flap dimensions exceed those for tension-free primary closure. The…

Utilization of Recipient Veins with Reflux during Supermicrosurgical Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis for Lower Limb Lymphedema.
[BACKGROUND] The use of recipient veins with venous reflux for lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is discouraged because it is commonly believed that this may lead to venous-lymphatic reflux (VLR). VLR is a phenomenon in which venous blood …

Linking Lymphedema, Chronic Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, Alzheimer Disease, and Potential Role of Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis.
[BACKGROUND] Lymphedema and Alzheimer disease (AD) share common mechanisms involving oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. However, the link between these 2 conditions and the impact of lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) has not been f…

Impact of Lymphedema Duration on Lymphatic Vessel Quality and Outcomes after Super-microsurgical Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis.
[BACKGROUND] Inferior lymphatic vessel (LV) quality was thought to be associated with prolonged lymphedema duration (LD), which can lead to unfavorable lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) outcomes. However, increasing evidence supports the u…

Groin-only lymphaticovenous anastomosis: a paradigm shift for lower extremity lymphedema - a prospective cohort propensity-score matched analysis.
[BACKGROUND] Based on the recent advancement in the concepts of lymphosome and the use of antegrade lymph flow, shifting lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) more proximally to the groin region for lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) offers theo…
