lymphatic surgery

Lymphatic surgery involves procedures aimed at improving or restoring lymphatic system functions, which are vital for removing waste and excess fluid from the body. Common surgeries include lymph node transfers, where healthy lymph nodes are moved to areas affected by lymphedema (swelling), and lymphatic bypasses to redirect fluid flow. These surgeries help reduce swelling, improve mobility, and prevent infections caused by fluid buildup. They are often performed for patients with conditions like lymphedema resulting from cancer treatment or congenital issues, offering a way to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life through targeted surgical intervention.
