Microsurgery for lymphedema: clinical research and long-term results.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Currently, increasingly reconstructive surgeon consider the failure rates of perforator propeller flaps especially in the distal third of the lower leg are too important and prefer to return to the use of free flap at first line option with failure rates frequently lower than 5%. So, we performed a systema...
