• Treatment of lymphedema 3 stage

Hello! We decided to share the clinical case of treatment of lymphedema in the AngioLife®️ Vascular Center.

In the summer, a 48-year-old young patient came to us, who several years ago underwent a large, abdominal surgery for cancer of the uterus. In the postoperative period, a course of radiation and chemotherapy was performed. Cancer was defeated, but ...

Leg volume increased every day, complications appeared in the form of erysipelas, which recurred during the year.
Skin lesions appeared in the form of ulcers, which were accompanied by lymphorrhea (leakage of yellow fluid). The body temperature periodically reached 40C, hellish pains were confined to bed and every day the leg became larger.

In June, the patient turned to the Angiolife vascular center. Where, after a comprehensive examination, the diagnosis was made: Secondary lymphedema of the right lower limb, 3 tbsp. by M. Foeldi. Complicated by frequent erysipelas of the right lower limb, trophic skin changes (hyperkeratosis, papillomatosis), lymphorrhea ...

A comprehensive treatment was carried out using the modified technique of CFT (Complete Decongestive Therapy) for 20 days.

Thanks to the coordinated and hard work of the team of lymphologists of the AngioLife vascular center under the leadership of Rasulzade, Sona Tarielovna, it was possible to achieve positive treatment results.
The result can be evaluated in the photo.
