Primary Lymphedema 淋巴管靜脈吻合術:安德森的專業技術, 您的安心選擇及案例分享 Lymphovenous Anatomosis (LVA) Say Goodbye to Compression Garments after Dr. Cheng's Lymphedema Microsurgery Lymphedema A common problem cancer survivors face is post-operative lymphedema. Lymphedema is caused by excess fluid that collects in the body’s tissue, causing swelling (edema). The symptoms are typically swollen limbs due to lymphatic circulation blockage. Some patients may also experience skin problems (eczema, rough skin, unidentified protrusion), repeated cellulitis or toe mold infection. Award winning plastic surgeon Dr. Cheng specializes in reconstructive surgery and is an expert in the lymphovenous anatomosis (LVA) technique, a minimally-invasive microsurgery procedure that can address the symptoms of lymphedema. Since lymphedema is not always treatable with non-surgical rehabilitation, LVA surgery can greatly improve the condition. Anderson, Your safe choice Medical Center Specifications and Equipment The operating room is equipped with Mitaka microscopes, of which there are only four in Taiwan. They have a resolution of up to 16 million pixels and can magnify 42 times optically. They are very suitable for the anastomosis of lymphatic vessels and veins of 0.5 mm and are often used in lymphatic venous anastomosis, such as preoperative evaluation and intraoperative evaluation of the permeability of sutures, making the operation more stable and safe.

Patients with grade I and early II lymphedema will undergo a lymphodynamic evaluation by indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography. The ICG injection allows Dr. Cheng to evaluate the presence and location of open, functioning lymphatic channels or dermal backflow (obstruction of lymphatic flow). This type of image study is performed via injections into the second and fourth web spaces of the fingers or toes. Images are obtained at 5 minutes, and then again after 20 hours. These image studies enable Dr. Cheng to create a customized treatment plan for each patient depending on their degree of lymphedema. How Does LVA Surgery Work? The most advanced, minimally invasive super-microsurgical techniques relieve lymphedema through small incisions (around 3cm). Preoperatively, ICG lymphography is used to map the lymphatic system on the skin and locate the incisions. Once the lymphatic channel and a suitable vein have been identified and prepared, a connection between them is created to give the lymphatic fluid an alternative route to escape from the affected area. The lymph fluid will then drain effectively through the vein. Surgical Techniques If LVA surgery is chosen for a patient, Dr. Cheng’s preference is to perform one or two Side-To-End (lymph-to-vein) anastomosis. Using super-microsurgery techniques, Dr. Cheng performs the LVA surgery so that the lymph can drain into the vein from both proximal and distal directions. Into the planned incision, allowing the lymphatic channels to be easily detected. The can then be seen draining from the lymphatic channel into the vein, confirming LVA surgery success. ICG fluorescence may also be used to verify a successful LVA surgery. Side-to-end (Cheng’s Technique) End-to-end (Koshima’s Technique) End-to-end (A and B) end-to-side (C and D) anastomosis are shown. The decision to perform one versus another is based on the intrinsic functionality of the native lymphatic and the inherent pumping mechanism. If the venous pressure is greater than the lymphatic pressure, the blood is regurgitated and causes the anastomosis thrombosis (B and D). Bidirectional lymph will flow into the vein in a side-to-end fashion (C and D). Data source: Principles and Practice of Lymphedema Surgery. Cheng MH, Chang DW, Patel KM (Editors).

Patency test of the side-to-end lymphovenous anastomosis using indocyanine green lymphography (right) and patent blue (left) Q1 What does the lymphatic system do? The lymphatic system is vital to ensure a healthy body. It is responsible for circulating protein-rich lymph fluid though the body. During this process, it collects bacteria, viruses and waste. The fluid gets carried through the lymph vessels to the lymph nodes where the waste is filtered out by infection-fighting cells. The lymphatic system is part of the body's immune system and a crucial aspect of a person's health. Q2 What are the causes of lymphedema? Lymphedema occurs when your lymphatic system is unable to properly drain lymph fluid. While primary lymphedema occurs on its own, secondary lymphedema, which is more common, is caused by a disease or condition. Secondary lymphedema is usually seen when the lymph nodes are removed, oftentimes as part of a cancer treatment. Lymphedema can also be caused by damage to the lymph nodes, from radiation treatment or infection. Should there be a blockage in the lymphatic system, the lymph fluid will not drain well. This leads to fluid buildup and swelling, which generally occurs in the arms and legs. Q3 How can LVA surgery improve lymphedema? LVA surgical approaches, like Dr. Cheng's advanced LVA technique, are effective in reducing or eliminating lymphedema swelling and discomfort. The LVA method directly connects the lymphatic vessels in the affected area to nearby veins. This allows the built-up lymph fluid to drain, which improves the fluid circulation in the body. Typically, LVA is an outpatient procedure, with most patients returning home the same day as the surgery.

Advanced Diagnostic Technology 淋巴管攝影檢查: 循血綠 Indocyanine Green(ICG)淋巴管攝影、ADRONIC ICG 螢光攝影機、Mitaka顯微鏡 Advanced Diagnostic Technology Say Goodbye to Compression Garments after Dr. Cheng's Lymphedema Microsurgery Indocyanine Green (ICG) Lymphography Indocyanine green (ICG) is a green colored dye. It binds to albumin (a kind of protein), which is transported within the lymph fluid. ICG has been used to test blood flow after being injected intravenously and has also been used to show lymphatics after low dose injection to the subcutaneous tissue. ICG lymphography uses a specialist infra-red camera to detect low dose injected ICG dye in the subcutaneous tissue with the depth of 10 mm. The lymphatic function can be checked on a screen during the scan. What does ICG lymphography image look like? Normal function of lymphatic system: After ICG is injected, it will quickly be taken by the lymphatics and transported in the lymphatic tubular duct as a linear lymphatic vessel (linear fluorescence). When functioning normally, the fluid and dye will rhythmically push up the lymph proximally. In lymphedema limb: In lymphedema limb, the one-way perfusion may be stuck. The lymphatic fluid remains in lymphatics, and the structure of the lymphatic duct will gradually be dilated, fibrotic then obstructed. As lymphedema progresses, the fluid will leak into subcutaneous tissue, causing dermal backflow (star-like fluorescence). ”ADRONIC” ICG “ADRONIC” Fluorescence Imaging System is a fluorescent image photography device, so that the surgeon can shoot, review, store high-quality fluorescent image device. “ADRONIC” Fluorescence Imaging System is used with fluorescent developer “Indocyanine Green” (Indocyanine Green). Including lymphatic vessels and blood vessels, as well as related applications during a variety of surgical procedures. Infrared transmitter can be controlled by the professional staff to adjust the distance or set up in the top of the camera to facilitate the operation, video recording can be immediately after the completion of the replay to review. Model: Adronic ICG Independent imaging with 3.5 inch screen Able to snapshot and record video Provides doctors with accurate location of vessel and lymph Case Sharing Breast cancer is a very common malignant tumor that women often experience. The number of cases is increasing over the years. In addition, it can seriously threaten women’s physical and mental health. Surgery and operation are still the common treatment that doctors use. However, it can cause detrimental complications to the human body. For example, upper limb lymphedema, bring great pain to the patient and seriously affects the quality of life of the patient. Doctor Cheng Ming-Huei, authority in plastic surgeon and ex-director of A+ Surgery Clinic, metioned that the fluorescence spectrum lymphangiography of ICG Video Scope can be used in breast cancer, breast augmentation and breast reduction. It brings applications to future clinical studies and reduces the recovery time needed after surgery. It also avoids the waste of medical resources due to the lower possibility of relapse. Features of ICG Video Scope Monitors edema of lymph in flaps Monitors the Lymphatic reconstruction and the recanalization Distinguishes different lymph drainage of breast and upper limb to decrease the possibility of Lymphedema after surgery Monitors the different pathological changes of muscle by the patients with Lymphedema The Fluorescence Imagining system is highly sensitive and provides reliability to the examination of Vessel Lymphedema Mitaka Microscope & Zeiss Pentero 900-Microscope The Mitaka Surgical Microscope is high resolution at 160 line-pairs per millimeter and 42x, making it ideal for working in the sub-1mm environment. Spy Elite SPY Elite, a fluorescent imaging system, may be used by surgeons to help determine whether certain tissues in the body have a strong enough blood supply for transplant purposes. Analyzing the blood circulation of tissues throughout the body may help our surgeons identify healthy donor tissue that may be harvested for such purposes, or compare the viability of various donor sites they are considering.
