Abstract:
:Primary lymphedema is due to abnormal congenital development or dysfunction in the lymphatic system. Limited data exist on the prevalence of primary lymphedema and there are only few studies focusing on primary lymphedema. The purpose of this article is to review the current options for surgical treatment of primary lymphedema.
