Study design and clinical efficacy
(A) Study design of this research.
(B) Comparison between lymphedema and post-lymphatic venous anastomosis (LVA) in terms of upper extremity lymphedema (UEL) index (left side) and lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) index (right side).
(C) Comparison between lymphedema and post-(LVA) in terms of severity of the EL index. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01. Non-parametric, independent, and paired continuous variables were compared using Mann–Whitney U test and Wilcoxon’s rank-sum test, respectively. Data are represented as median +/− interquartile range.
