Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis Reduces Pain in Selected Patients with Lower Limb Lymphedema

Objectives: Lymphedema is a chronic condition characterized by fluid accumulation and limb swelling, often accompanied by pain. While complete decongestive therapy may reduce pain, some patients experience persistent symptoms. Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is a minimally invasive procedure that has shown promise in alleviating pain, but the types of pain most responsive to LVA remain unclear.
