Figure 2.

A 55-year-old woman with a BMI of 22.1 kg/m² post-cervical cancer ablation and lymph node dissection (23 years prior). She has suffered from stage III lymphedema on her left lower limb for the past seven years with frequent cellulitis. A total of nine lymphaticovenous anastomoses (LVAs) were performed. (Upper left) Pre-LVA. (Upper right) Six months post-LVA follow-up. (Lower left) Preoperative MR volumetry showing a left lower limb volume of 8785.0 mL; right lower limb volume of 5843.0 mL. The volume gained in the left lower limb due to lymphedema was 2942.0 mL (8785.0 mL minus 5843.0 mL). (Lower right) Six months post-LVA MR volumetry showing left limb volume of 6976.6 mL. Post-LVA volume reduction was −1808.4 mL (a −61.5% lymphedema volume reduction).
