Lymphedema is the Build-up of Lymph Fluid in the Body\'s Tissue Causing Chronic, Debilitating Swelling. This Commonly Occurs as a Result of a Disruption of the Lymphatic System During Lymph Node Dissection Surgeries. LYMPHA (LYmphatic Microsurgical Preventive Healing Approach) is an Innovative Microsurgical Technique Where Blocked Lymphatic Vessels Are Drained Into the Blood Circulation by Surgically Creating a Shunt Between a Lymphatic Channel and a Blood Vessel Called a Lymphatic-venous Bypass. Recently, LYMPHA Technique Has Been Shown to Prevent Lymphedema When Performed at the Time of Nodal Dissection. We Propose a Prospective Study Evaluating the Effectiveness of LYMPHA Technique Using Objective Clinical Protocol.
