    Author: Levin AO, Miasnikova MO, Gorbunov GN, Tuznovich EL.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1984; 30(5):31-4. PubMed ID: 6730413.
    Abstract:
    Reconstructive microsurgery carried out in 25 cases of postmastectomy edema of the upper extremity proved to be the most effective and safest in treatment of the said complication. The procedure should be supplemented with phlebolysis of the subclavicular vein (when occlusion of the latter exceeds 50%) or with resection of dermatofascial flap of the brachial area (fibrous stage of lymphostasis). Sequence of stages and the results of the surgical treatment are discussed.
