All patients are discussed in a collaborative Multi-disciplinary Meeting with Surgeons, Imaging specialists, and Lymphoedema Practitioners to ensure patients are holistically assessed and management plans are tailored to provide the best possible outcomes.
Using tiny injections of a special fluorescent dye under the skin, our advanced imaging techniques create detailed maps of your lymphatic system. This helps us assess how well your lymphatic channels are functioning and determine if you are a suitable candidate for surgical treatment.
For patients with established lymphoedema where ICG mapping shows intact lymphatic channels, bypass surgery can connect these channels directly to small veins. This procedure can help reduce lymph fluid buildup, decrease limb swelling, and alleviate symptoms, leading to improved quality of life.
By engaging with oncology surgeons such as Breast, Gynaecology, Urology or Skin Cancer surgeons, we bypass or repair lymphatic vessels at the time of axillary or groin lymph node dissection to prevent lymphoedema before it can set in.
In established cases of lymphoedema where there are no normal lymphatic channels left, liposuction can reduce the size and heaviness of affected limbs, and improve patient quality of life.
