First report of successful liver transplantation following supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenous anastomoses for lymphorrhea with intractable infection: A case report

Despite numerous challenges, the patient achieved a successful recovery with satisfactory graft function and was free from lymphorrhea/lymphedema in her left lower limb 3 years post-transplantation. This case underscores the importance of robust infection control during both the pre- and post-transplantation phases and highlights the potential of LVA as a treatment option for managing lymphorrhea and infections in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract

Despite numerous challenges, the patient achieved a successful recovery with satisfactory graft function and was free from lymphorrhea/lymphedema in her left lower limb 3 years post-transplantation. This case underscores the importance of robust infection control during both the pre- and post-transplantation phases and highlights the potential of LVA as a treatment option for managing lymphorrhea and infections in patients with liver cirrhosis.
