Abstract:
Patients with lymphatic disorders are remarkably complex and require a wide variety of medical and surgical services. Establishing a multidisciplinary program improves the efficiency of the patients' hospital experience minimizing the compartmentalization of their care. Offering a clear intake process guarantees that patients will be seen promptly by all the required teams. Additionally, having regular multidisciplinary meetings allows all participating teams to learn from each other and gain experience in the care of a population that is extraordinarily heterogeneous. Additionally, establishing a solid program allows for long-term data collection, research and education.

Lymphatic Vessels and Lymph Transport
This one-way system allows fluids, solutes, and even pathogens to enter but prevents their return to the intercellular spaces.
Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
