Development of an All-Wales National Health Service Surgical Lymphedema Supermicrosurgery Service
The authors highlight the efficiency of the service, whereby despite more than 7500 referrals a year, only a small minority that are eligible for surgery undergo a surgical assessment. The authors hope that this article provides an impetus for such services to be similarly replicated across other nations.
