Abstract:
Experiences are presented of a method of improving lymph drainage by implantation of silicone tubing in cases of lymphoedema of the arm following treatment of breast cancer. The passive drainage of lymph from the arm to the abdominal fat leads to a reduction of volume of 20%. Detailed long term clinical results are described and the drainage of lymph is demonstrated.
