Lymphatic surgery is a procedure used to treat conditions involving the lymphatic system, such as lymphedema, where there is an accumulation of lymph fluid due to blocked or damaged lymphatic vessels or nodes. The surgery may involve removing damaged tissue, creating new lymphatic pathways, or bypassing the blocked vessels to restore proper fluid drainage.
Lymphatic surgery is essential for reducing symptoms such as swelling, pain, and discomfort, and improving the patient's ability to manage their condition. This type of surgery helps improve lymphatic drainage, enhance mobility, and prevent complications such as infections or tissue damage.
