What is lymphoedema and how is it treated?
Lymphoedema is a condition characterised by the swelling of the limbs caused by fluid retention. Fluid retention occurs in patients with this condition because their lymphatic system is unable to properly drain the lymph fluid. In many cases, it is the legs, arms and fingers that become swollen. It can be a difficult condition to live with, as it can cause discomfort, pain and difficulty moving. Mr Damir Kosutic, a top plastic surgeon, details the treatments available for lymphoedema, which include surgery, liposuction, and combining it with breast reconstruction surgery.
Improving the quality of life in those with lymphoedema
Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that can be debilitating to live with. It is characterised by the swelling and the collection of fluid in upper and lower limbs. It can result from previous cancer surgery in which lymph nodes were removed, commonly done when treating breast cancer, for example. Mr Damir Kosutic, a leading plastic surgeon, discusses how he is revolutionising breast cancer surgery in using techniques that treat and prevent lymphoedema.
