Vascularized lymph node transfer with submental free flap.

Limb lymphoedema is common in patients who have undergone inguinal or axillary lymph node dissection. Lymphoedema seriously impacts the patient's quality of life by inducing adipogenesis, fibrosis and repeated episodes of lymphangitis and cellulitis. Following failure of compression therapies, several curative or symptomatic surgical options have been proposed over recent decades, such as liposuction or lymphovenous anastomosis.
