“…3 Arbeiten (7 %) betrachteten sekundäre Lymphödeme bei nichtgynäkologischen Erkrankungen (Kopf-Hals-Karzinom, Melanom, Lymphangioleiomyomatose). 2 Arbeiten beschäftigten sich mit Infektionen als Folgeerkrankung des Lymphödems, 1 Arbeit mit Krankheitsfolgen von primären Lymphödemen [44][45][46][47][48][49].…”

“…However it has been uncertain, whether potentially preventable conditions such as seroma and surgical-site infection (SSI) increases the risk of lymphedema 12,13 . Hence, the aim of this study was to identify possible risk factors and indicators for lymphedema, in patients undergoing axillary or inguinal SNB/CLND as part of their MM treatment.…”

“…When compared with axillary dissection, there is some evidence to suggest that radical inguinal node dissection is associated with an higher rate of drained lymph and consequently a higher rate of lymphoedema and lymphorrhoea. [14] It is logical to believe that a bigger limb may produce a greater amount of lymph compared to a smaller one, i.e., the lower limb compared to the upper limb. In the same way, studies focusing on breast cancer have suggested a direct correlation between body mass index and lymphatic specific morbidity [15].…”
