What is the difference between edema and lymphedema?

Imaging is usually not necessary unless an obstructive cause of the lymphedema is suspected (e.g., tumor).

What is the best treatment for lymphedema?

Granzow et al (2014a) noted that surgical treatment of chronic lymphedema has seen significant advances. Suction-assisted protein lipectomy (SAPL) has been shown to safely and effectively reduce the solid component of swelling in chronic lymphedema. However, these patients must continuously use compression garments to control and prevent recurrence. Microsurgery procedures, including lymphatico-venous anastomosis (LVA) and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT), have been shown to be effective in the management of the fluid component of lymphedema and allow for decreased garment use. SAPL and VLNT were applied together in a 2-stage approach in 2 patients with chronic lymphedema after treatment for breast cancer. SAPL was used first to remove the chronic, solid component of the soft-tissue excess. Volume excess in these patients' arms was reduced an average of approximately 83 % and 110 % after SAPL surgery. After the arms had sufficiently healed and the volume reductions had stabilized, VLNT was performed to reduce the need for continuous compression and reduce fluid re-accumulation. Following the VLNT procedures, the patients were able to remove their compression garments consistently during the day and still maintain their volume reductions. Neither patient had any post-operative episodes of cellulitis. SAPL and VLNT can be combined to achieve optimal outcomes in patients with chronic lymphedema.

What is secondary lymphedema?

Secondary lymphedema is a disorder of lymphatic flow that is caused by some other disease or condition. It is more common than primary lymphedema. It is most commonly caused by surgery (especially lymph node dissection, such as for breast cancer), radiation therapy (especially axillary or inguinal), trauma, lymphatic obstruction by tumor, and, in developing countries, lymphatic filariasis. Secondary lymphedema may also result from compression of the lymphatic and venous channels resulting from leakage of fluid into interstitial tissues in patients with chronic venous insufficiency. (See below)

When is a pneumatic compression device considered not necessary?

At the end of the 4-week trial, if there has been improvement of the lymphedema extending onto the chest, trunk and/or abdomen, then a pneumatic compression device with calibrated gradient pressure is considered not medically necessary. Where improvement has occurred, the trial of conservative therapy must be continued with subsequent reassessment at intervals at least 1 week apart. When and only when no significant improvement has occurred in the most recent 4 weeks and the medical necessity criteria above are still met, a pneumatic compression device with calibrated gradient pressure is considered medically necessary.

Is it necessary to use a lymphedema pump in the hospital?

Note: Although the literature suggests that the use of lymphedema pumps is commonly initiated in the hospital, there is no medical necessity for this practice unless the member has other complications of lymphedema (i.e., cellulitis) that would require hospitalization. The use of lymphedema pumps can be initiated in the clinic or in the home setting.
