  • Title: Radical excision and delayed reconstruction of a lymphedematous leg with a 15 year follow-up.
    Author: Dumanian GA, Futrell JW.
    Journal: Lymphology; 1996 Mar; 29(1):20-4. PubMed ID: 8721975.
    Abstract:
    An adult female patient with primary lymphedema of the lower extremity was treated with total excision of the subcutaneous tissues followed by delayed reconstruction with a giant full thickness skin graft taken from the excised surgical specimen. The leg has maintained excellent function and contour over the ensuing 15 years. A small area on the dorsum of the foot that initially was covered with a split thickness skin graft required subsequent regrafting using abdominal skin. This area developed verrucoid changes.
