- W2801933685 abstract "Background Lymphedema is a progressive disease that negatively affects body image and physical, psychological, and social functions. There is lack of evidence in the present literature about the impact of super microsurgical lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of this prospective study is to report the outcomes of patients' HRQoL after LVA for lower and upper extremities lymphedema. Methods Between September 2015 and February 2017, 74 patients with upper or lower limb lymphedema (ULL or LLL) underwent LVA at our center. Quality of life (QoL) was assessed by lymphedema QoL questionnaire (LyMQoL), which is a validated disease-specific instrument to measure the impact of lymphedema on patient's lives, covering four domains: function, body image, symptoms, and mood. All patients were evaluated preoperatively, 1 month after surgery, and every 3 months up to 1 year. Additionally, we evaluated the episodes of lymphangitis and the need for conservative therapy before and after surgery. Results After a mean follow-up of 8.5 months (range: 2–21 months), we observed an increase of 2.3 points in the overall QoL average for upper limb and 2.6 points for lower limb (p < 0.001). A statistically significant improvement in all four domains (p < 0.01) was reported after surgery, being present from the first postoperative months for both upper and lower extremities. Conclusion Our study shows that lymphaticovenular anastomosis improves HRQoL in patients affected by ULL and LLL. Additionally, both a reduction of episodes of lymphangitis and a decrease in the need of conservative therapy were observed in this cohort of patients." @default.
