Operations for lymphoedema of the lower limbs. A study of the results in 108 operations utilizing vascularized dermal flaps.

The results of operations for lymphoedema of the lower limbs have been reviewed. In experienced hands the results are very satisfactory. Modifications of the buried dermis flap operation of Thompson have been found to give the best results in patients where the local skin has been in good condition. The chief complication has been the occurrence of localized areas of necrosis, chiefly at the edges of the flaps. It has not been a serious complication but has sometimes prolonged the stay in hospital. It has been associated with haematoma formation. Methods of avoiding this and other complications are discussed in order to improve results still further. There have been no serious complications and no deaths in this series.

Protein-losing enteropathy in lymphoedema. Surgical investigation and treatment.

Patients with primary lymphoedema have been tested for protein loss from the gut by the chromium chloride test. In a proportion of patients there is significant loss which may drop the plasma proteins thereby increasing oedema. Three patients were treated by abdominal exploration, mesenteric lymphography and resection of the worst affected length of gut. There was clinical and biochemical improvement and no complication.
