Understanding Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a chronic condition that results in the accumulation of lymph fluid in certain parts of the body, most commonly the arms and legs. It is often caused by a disruption in the lymphatic system, which can occur due to surgical procedures, cancer treatments, or as a result of an underlying medical condition. Lymphedema can cause swelling, discomfort, and limited mobility, affecting the quality of life for individuals experiencing this condition.

At Naab Road Surgical Center, we understand the challenges faced by individuals with lymphedema. We offer a wide range of comprehensive management services to ensure our patients receive the best possible care. Our team of highly skilled professionals, including surgeons, therapists, and nurses, work together to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient.
1. Evaluation and Diagnosis
The first step in our lymphedema management program is a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. Our experienced specialists will assess the severity of your condition, identify any underlying causes, and develop a treatment plan specifically designed for you. We utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately determine the extent of lymphedema and guide our treatment approach.
2. Non-surgical Treatment Options
We offer a variety of non-surgical treatment options to effectively manage lymphedema. These may include:
- Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): A specialized massage technique that stimulates the flow of lymph fluid.
- Compression Therapy: The use of compression garments or bandages to alleviate swelling and improve lymphatic drainage.
- Exercise and Rehabilitation: Customized exercise programs and physical therapy to enhance mobility and strength.
- Skin Care: Proper skin care techniques to prevent infections and maintain overall skin health.
- Educational Resources: In-depth educational resources and support to help patients better understand their condition and manage symptoms.
3. Surgical Treatment Options
In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to manage lymphedema. Our experienced surgeons specialize in innovative surgical techniques, including:
- Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis (LVA): A microsurgical procedure that creates new pathways for lymphatic fluid to bypass blocked or damaged lymph vessels.
- Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer (VLNT): The transplantation of healthy lymph nodes to improve lymphatic drainage and reduce swelling.
