“…Reduction of lymphedema observed by Tacani et al 10 was due to the use of CDT, which consists of combined use of MLD, skin care, compression bandaging, kinesiotherapy and selfmassage. When supplemented by manual techniques, vacuotherapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and adapted therapeutic exercises, it also improved cicatricial adhesions.…”

“…O linfedema (acúmulo anormal de linfa nos tecidos) trata-se de uma das complicações mais comuns após a cirurgia da mama, provocado, geralmente, pelo esvaziamento dos linfonodos axilares. Os principais sinais e sintomas presentes são: redução da funcionalidade e aumento do diâmetro do membro homolateral à cirurgia, rigidez e diminuição da amplitude de movimento do membro acometido e distúrbios sensoriais (SOARES, 2017;TACANI et al, 2013).…”

“…Determining factors include extension of axilliary lymph node dissection; radiotherapy to the axilla and supraclavicular fossa; chemotherapy; advanced stage at diagnosis; postoperative infection; lymphangitis and cellulite; obesity; advanced age; delay in closing the wound; presence of seroma; node-positive disease; delayed wound healing; compression dressing and immobilization of the limb homolateral to the surgery. This limits movement, which, over a 7-day postoperative period, is sufficient to decrease lymphatic flow by 40% due to the trauma of surgery and/or patient immobility [2][3][4].…”
