title: [Role of the lymphatic system in the etiology of edema in vascular surgery].
abstract: The authors attempt to explain why oedema forms following operation, referring to an experiment of 900 cases of patients suffering from acute or chronic ischemia treated by surgery. They look for reasons for this oedema and suggest that the origin, in a large number of cases, is lymphatic.
