Abstract
We have demonstrated that liposuction combined with continuous compression therapy (CCT) is a safe and effective technique for treatment of primary and secondary LEL, with a significant reduction of the original excess limb volume. Male patients with primary lymphoedema have the poorest outcomes. Limbs with secondary lymphoedema respond best to this treatment.
