Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Contemporary management of lymphatic diseases is undergoing rapid transformation, propelled by advances in molecular biology, diagnostic imaging, and minimally invasive therapies. This Special Issue brings together multidisciplinary expertise to present clinically relevant advances in the field. The scope encompasses pathophysiology, clinical assessment, and innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for lymphatic system disorders. Specific areas of focus include biological and hemodynamic principles underlying complex lymphatic diseases, clinical evaluation and management approaches for lymphedema, advanced imaging techniques, and current interventional and surgical treatments. By integrating multiple disciplinary perspectives, this Special Issue aims to advance precision medicine in lymphatic disease management and bridge clinical practice with scientific innovation.

Lymphedema is a chronic, incurable disease affecting patients who undergo high-risk cancer treatments. Advances in microsurgical techniques have paved the way for the development of techniques that can prevent or treat this unrelenting condition. In this article we discuss microsurgical interventions for the prevention and treatment of lymphedema, as well as the role of robotics in lymphatic surgery. Full article
