Lymphostasis, lymphedema, elephantiasis – our approach
and treatment results.
Patient L.I.S, born 1968, lives in
Riga region, Latvia, was hospitalized in N. Shmatkov
Center of Lymphosurgery for 20 days (ñ 21.08.2006 –
10.09.2006).
Diagnosis: Secondary, post-op and
post-radiation treatment fourth stage lymphedema of
the lower right extremity, associated with purpuric
rash attacks, without progressing oncological process
– cervical cancer.
Patient is ill since 2002, when she was
diagnosed with cervical cancer. Patient was administered
radiation therapy prior- and after surgery. Surgery
type – extirpation of uterus with additions.
In two years, in 2004, patient observed
appearance of edema of the right foot and calf. Patient
applied for medical help at the place of living, where
she was prescribed diuretics, Detralex, pneumo-compressing
therapy, as well as prophylactics by staying in a draining
position, and wearing of elastics bands and socks. The
state of the patient did not improve and lymphostasis
progressed. Via email patient contacted N. Shmatkov
Center of Lymphosurgery.
After initial examination at the Center
of Lymphosurgery the state of the compensation of the
lymphostasis was determined and the absence of progression
of the main oncological process was confirmed. Patient
was received following surgery: 1) Dermolypofasciaectomy

(patent ¹1811409); 2) Variant ¹13 – Conical-thigh-abdominal
tunneling on the right side, spiraled draining performed
according to a protocol developed at the Center (patent
application ¹ 620501); 3) lymph-venous anastomosis performed
according to a protocol protected by the patent ¹74093
issued to N. Shmatkov.
During post-op period patient developed
no complications. Throughout the post-op period patient
received: plasmapheresis – blood cleaning, hydrocolonotherapy
– colon cleaning, desensitizing treatment, personal
massage with device IKA-1, stationary pneumomassage
of the lower extremities, powerful magnetotherapy (1,500
