Hello! Disease introduction: lymphedema is an obstacle to lymphatic reflux, which causes lymphatic accumulation in subcutaneous tissue to cause fibrous hyperplasia and liposclerosis, and later limb swelling, and the skin is thickened, rough and as hard as elephant skin, so it is also called "elephant skin swelling". It can occur in external genitalia and upper limbs, especially lower limbs. Pathogenesis: 1. Primary lymphedema: caused by abnormal lymphatic development; There are three types: lymphangioplasty, lymphangiodysplasia and lymphangiohyperplasia. 2. Secondary lymphedema: normal lymphatic obstruction due to acquired reasons. Filariasis and streptococcal infections are common. 3. After cancer radiotherapy and lymph node dissection. Clinical symptoms: lymphedema of lower limbs is mainly manifested as swelling of one limb, starting from ankle and then spreading to the whole lower limb. The skin is normal in the early stage, and it is thickened, dry, rough, pigmented, with warts or spines in the later stage. The degree and degree of lymphedema can be divided into: 1. Mild: Limb edema is concave, which can be alleviated or disappeared after raising the limb, and there is no fibrosis damage to the skin. 2. Moderate: the edema pressure is no longer depressed, the edema of the raised limbs is not obvious, and there is moderate fibrosis. 3. Severe: elephantiasis-like skin changes. Secondary lymphedema often includes recurrent lymphangitis and gradually aggravated lymphedema. When lymphangitis occurs, local swelling, pain, swollen lymph nodes and tenderness are often accompanied by sudden chills and high fever. Diagnosis: 1. Early patients should be differentiated from deep vein thrombosis, angioedema and arteriovenous fistula. Through the history and manifestations, the general diagnosis is relatively easy. 2. According to the typical leg-like features of lymphedema of lower limbs, the diagnosis of advanced patients is easy. 3. If the cause of lower limb swelling is unknown, auxiliary examinations can be performed, such as diagnostic puncture tissue fluid analysis, lymphangiography and isotope lymphangiography. Auxiliary examination: lymphangiography is helpful to distinguish primary lymphedema from secondary lymphedema; At the same time, the location of lymphatic obstruction can be determined. Diagnostic puncture tissue fluid analysis and isotope lymphangiography are helpful to exclude other diseases. Treatment: 1. Non-surgical treatment: wear medical elastic socks to decompress sequentially, raise the affected limb, limit the intake of water and salt, use diuretics, prevent infection and bake and bind the treatment. Through repeated hot moxibustion stimulation, the tissue temperature is increased and the metabolic activity is strengthened, which can promote the regeneration of tubes and the recovery of lymphatic reflux. Second, surgical treatment: There are four kinds of surgical treatment currently used: 1. Skin grafting: the principle is to cut off the diseased tissues of the whole leg and instep below the knee joint, including skin, subcutaneous tissue and deep fascia, and then take healthy limbs or use the cut diseased skin for skin grafting. 2. Skin flap embedding. 3. Pedicled aponeurosis transplantation. 4. Lymph-venous anastomosis.
