Surgical treatments of lymphoedema
When non-surgical treatment is ineffective or insufficient, surgical treatment may be chosen in certain cases depending on the severity of the lymphoedema.
There are 3 surgical treatment options depending on the stage of the disease:
- Lymph shunt (stage 0, 1 and 2)
- Lymph node transplant (stage 2)
- Liposuction (stage 3)
