Practicality of the Lower Extremity Lymphedema Index: Lymphedema Index Versus Volumetry-Based Evaluations for Body-Type-Corrected Lower Extremity Volume Evaluation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Chest wall reconstruction after radiation damage is a challenge in oncologic and plastic surgery. The defect can be reconstructed with laparoscopically harvested omental flap and meshed skin grafts. Our aim was to evaluate the use of vacuum-assisted closure (V.A.C.) in combination with laparoscopically harve...
