Abstract
Lymphedema is a common and progressive disease which causes deterioration of the quality of life of the patients, and still, there is no gold standard therapeutic option. In this article, we discuss about our new approach to deal with management of lymphedema which is lymphatic drainage by a subcutaneous channel which is designed as lymphaticoperitoneal and lymphaticopleural shunts for lower and upper extremity lymphedema, respectively.
