Lymphedema is a chronic, debilitating condition that causes physical, social and psychological morbidity, affecting up to 250 million people worldwide. Unfortunately, no cure for lymphedema currently exists. Recently, with the advances in techniques and equipment in microsurgery, there have been major and exciting new surgical procedures that have been developed to help treat and reduce the severity and complications of lymphedema. These new microsurgical procedures, such as lymphovenous bypass and vascularized lymph node transfer, have transformed the way we manage lymphatic patients and have also rejuvenated the field of lymphatic studies both clinically and academically.

David W. Chang, MD, FACS is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Professor of Surgery, Chief of the Section of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, and Director of the Microsurgery Fellowship at U Chicago Medicine.
