CLINICAL CHALLENGE

Lymphovenous anastomosis – a supermicrosurgical technique

A lymphovenous anastomosis is a technique which depends on the identification of lymphatic channels and the patency check of connected vessels.1  Next to the surgeon’s experience and skills, a high magnification is needed when working on those small structures on submillimeter level with small tools and sutures. Visualization systems with advanced magnification play a key role in achieving successful bypasses.¹

"Given the submillimeter size of the lymphatic vessels and recipient veins, the anastomosis presents unique challenges. The lymphatic channel, in particular, is often smaller than the vein, and the walls of the lymph vessels are especially thin and often collapse on themselves, making it difficult to place the needle into the lumen."
