title: [Lymphatic vessel and venous anastomosis in the treatment of patients with lymphedema].
abstract: Examination and surgical treatment of 31 patient with primary (17 cases) and secondary (14) lymphedema of an extremity at a stage of fibredema was carried out. It was established that a degree of increase in the volume of an extremity rather often didn't correspond to a stage of fibredema, pathological changes in the lymphatic vessels were pronounced to a different degree. However, this do not exclude possibility of their effective use for placing lymphoangiovenous anastomosis.
