Breast cancer patients who underwent axillary lymph node dissection following radiotherapy are at a higher risk of developing extremity lymphedema – Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL), a condition that results in tissue swelling and liquid retention in the arms. While it is possible to manage the condition with some home care, surgery may be necessary to significantly improve an individual’s comfort and quality of life. Ming-Heui Cheng, MD, FACS, a pioneer in plastic microsurgery and internationally renowned lymphedema specialist, performs vascularized lymph node flap transfers on lymphedema patients whose symptoms have not improved or continue to worsen six months after they emerged. Symptoms Of Lymphedema Of The Arm The affected limb may develop inflammation, infection, adipogenesis, and fibrosis of the tissue. The protein-concentrated fluid that accumulates inside the interstitial tissue may further block or make the drainage of the lymph fluid less efficient or even create an obstruction. Lymphedema of upper extremity causes pain, heaviness, skin hyperkeratosis, fibrosis, discomfort when wearing certain clothes and jewelry, cosmetic problems and limitation of daily activities for patients. It is common for lymphedema patients to experience depression, due to physical discomfort, emotional distress and lower quality of life. Anderson, Your safe choice Medical Center Specifications and Equipment The operating room is equipped with Mitaka microscopes, of which there are only four in Taiwan. They have a resolution of up to 16 million pixels and can magnify 42 times optically. They are very suitable for the anastomosis of lymphatic vessels and veins of 0.5 mm and are often used in lymphatic venous anastomosis, such as preoperative evaluation and intraoperative evaluation of the permeability of sutures, making the operation more stable and safe. Surgical Techniques 1 Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis, LVA LVA is an advanced minimally invasive super-microsurgical technique used to relieve lymphedema. During the procedure, Dr. Cheng will make small incisions, which expose lymphatic channels and small veins just beneath the skin. Learn more 2 Vascularized Lymph Node Flap Transfer, VLNT In some cases, surgery may be performed to alleviate swelling and reduce symptoms. Dr. Cheng has developed a unique technique that involves lymph node transfer.

Though there are varying degrees of lymphedema, Dr. Cheng’s expert microsurgery techniques provide several possible solutions. For patients with Cheng’s Lymphedema late Grade II to Grade IV, and no clear functioning lymphatics shown on indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography images, a vascularized lymph node (VLN) flap transfer is recommended. For patients with more severe cases of lymphedema, such as lymphedema Grade IV, there may be a need for a liposuction or a partial wedge excision one year after the VLN flap transfer. Anderson, Your safe choice Medical Center Specifications and Equipment The operating room is equipped with Mitaka microscopes, of which there are only four in Taiwan. They have a resolution of up to 16 million pixels and can magnify 42 times optically. They are very suitable for the anastomosis of lymphatic vessels and veins of 0.5 mm and are often used in lymphatic venous anastomosis, such as preoperative evaluation and intraoperative evaluation of the permeability of sutures, making the operation more stable and safe. Candidates for VLN Flap Transfer Lymphedema patients who aggressively received rehabilitation for more than 6 months without making any improvement. Patients that develop episodes of cellulitis. Patients with total lymphatic obstruction present in diagnostic imaging (lymphoscintigraphy). Patients with no patent lymphatic (collecting) ducts available for the procedure of lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA).

The choice of the donor site for the VLN flap surgery is based on patient preference, and the availability of sizable lymph nodes at the preferred site. Before the donor site is chosen, Dr. Cheng uses ultrasound images to determine the viability of the lymph nodes. Given these factors, the vascularized submental lymph node (VSLN) flap is the most commonly preferred VLN flap by Dr. Cheng’s patients. Usually, the VSLN flap is transferred to the back of the wrist or to the ankle in accordance with the “pump” mechanism, catchment effect, and natural gravity effect to achieve maximal functional recovery. Though this surgery can provide great relief for painful swelling, the unsightly skin on the wrist may be bothersome to the patient. Fortunately, one-year after VSLN flap transfer surgery it can be removed, leaving a more subtle, linear scar. At this point, the limb previously affected by the lymphedema should be softer and smaller as well. Intrinsic lymphovenous connections exist within the lymph node flap. These connections are responsible for shunting the lymphatic fluid into the venous system, creating local decompression at the site of vascularized lymph node flap transfer. 資料來源： 淋巴水腫手術的原則和實踐。 Cheng MH，Chang DW，Patel KM（編輯）。 Elsevier Inc，英國牛津。 ISBN：978-0-323-29897-1。 2015年7月，第65頁。 此圖右側肢體正常，左側為上肢及下肢淋巴水腫。 可使用的治療方法如：淋巴管靜脈吻合術或顯微淋巴結皮瓣移植。 資料來源： 淋巴水腫手術的原則與實踐。 Cheng MH，Chang DW，Patel KM（編輯）。 Elsevier Inc，英國牛津。 ISBN：978-0-323-29897-1。 2015年7月，第219頁。 淋巴結供體區 1. 下領部 2. 鎖骨下 3. 胸椎 4. 腹股溝 5. 大網膜 6. 腸系膜 淋巴水腫的病理生理 a. 淋巴積聚 b. 炎症發炎 c. 脂肪增生 d.纖維化 淋巴結皮瓣接受區 I. 手腕（背部或手掌） II. 手肘 III. 腋下 IV. 腹股溝 V. 後腿近端 VI. 足踝（前側或内側） What to Expect After Flap Transfer Surgery Dr. Cheng’s unique surgical technique can greatly improve the quality of life of patients suffering from lymphedema. By transferring the vascularized lymph node flap to the recipient site, for example to the wrist, Dr. Cheng improves the functionality of the lymphatic system. As a result, the tissue becomes softer, the affected arms and/or legs become smaller and lighter and the patient experiences less cellulitis. This in turn gives the patient an improved cosmetic appearance. In addition, it is important to note that with Dr. Cheng’s superior technique and skills, patients no longer need to wear compression garments post-surgery. Although after VLN flap surgery the initial transferred flap on the wrist is not aesthetically pleasing, one year after the surgery the transferred skin may be removed. Typically done under local anesthesia, this procedure will leave the wrist with a subtle, linear scar instead. In Cheng’s experience, the success rate of the vascularized lymph node flap is 98%. With an average 18 months of follow-up after VLNT surgery, 90% of BCRL patients show substantial improvement, with an average circumferential difference improvement of 40%. Though patient results vary, in general, post-surgery the affected limb becomes much softer over time; and restriction of daily activities is minimized. After VLN flap surgery patients resume their normal life styles with a boost in self-confidence. A VLN Flap transfer with Dr. Cheng can alleviate lymphedema symptoms, greatly increasing patients’ quality of life. Evidences of Mechanism of Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer 1. Tc-99m Lymphoscintigraphy Increased Clearance on Static Images Static views of the same edematous upper limb on posterior view. Images of the upper extremity was taken at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after injection of radio-labelled tracer. Preoperative images (upper row: A-C) and postoperative images (lower row: D-F).In the pre-op images, there is prominent diffuse accumulation of activity shown in the skin of the affected forearm over time. Post-operatively, dermal backflow is less marked in the forearm (D-F) and the radio-labelled tracer has migrated more rapidly to the distal arm (arrow in F).

Vascularized Groin Lymph Node Transfer to Elbow of Post-op Lymphoscintigraphy A 68-year-old female patient who was a victim of right upper limb lymphedema underwent vascularized groin lymph node flap transfer to right elbow (A). Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy showed accumulation of Tc-99 in the forearm and absence of right axilla lymph node (B). At a follow-up of 56 months, the patient was satisfied with the softening of left upper limb with a circumferential reduction of 58% above elbow and 40% below elbow (C). Post-op lymphoscintigraphy revealed increased uptake of Tc-99 by the transferred vascularized lymph nodes at the elbow level and less accumulation of Tc-99 in right upper arm (D).

Vascularized Submental Lymph Node Transfer to wrist of Post-op Lymphoscintigraphy A 52-year-old female patient who was a right upper limb lymphedema underwent vascularized submental lymph node flap transfer to right wrist. Pre-op lymphoscintigraphy showed accumulation of Tc-99 in the forearm and absence of right axilla lymph node. Post-op lymphoscintigraphy revealed increased uptake of Tc-99 by the transferred two vascularized lymph nodes at the wrist level and less accumulation of Tc-99 in right upper arm.

Ito R, Zelken J, Yang CY, Lin CY, Cheng MH. Gynecol Oncol. 2016 Apr;141(1):182-8. Q1 How can VLN surgery improve lymphedema? Lymphedema is caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system. If the lymph fluid is unable to circulate through the body, it builds-up and causes minor to severe swelling. Typically, lymphedema swelling is seen in the arms and/or the legs, though it can occur is other parts of the body. There are different degrees of lymphedema and some cases can be treated non-surgically. However, for certain types, such as Cheng's Grade II, III and IV lymphedema, surgery may be the only option to alleviate symptoms and reduce swelling. The VLN flap transfer unblocks the lymphatic system in order to allow the lymph fluid to circulate better, reducing swelling in the affected limb over time. Dr. Cheng has been extremely successful in using this technique to treat moderate to severe cases of lymphedema. Q2 Are follow-up appointments post-surgery required? VLN flap surgery with renowned surgeon Dr. Cheng has an excellent success rate. However, the VLN flap surgery is a delicate procedure that requires several follow up appointments after the surgery. These appointments allow Dr. Cheng to carefully measure the circumference of the affected limb or limbs to ensure optimal results. Dr. Cheng will discuss symptom relief with patients, which helps to determine the success of the transferred lymph nodes. Although no compression garments are needed, it is important to attend all follow-up appointments in order to assess progress anddetermine if any addition physical therapy is necessary. Q3 Why choose Dr. Cheng for VLN flap surgery? As an internationally renowned surgeon, Dr. Cheng is an expert in several microsurgery techniques that address lymphedema, including VLN flap surgery. With over a 98% success rate, Dr. Cheng can properly asses your condition and determine what is the best treatment plan. Depending on the grade of lymphedema, Dr. Cheng will recommend the best solution.
