Abstract
The jejunal mesenteric VLNT is an excellent option for lymphedema treatment because there is no risk of donor site lymphedema or nerve damage, and the scar is easily concealed. Harvest from the periphery of the proximal jejunum is optimal. Improvement from lymphedema can be expected in a majority of patients.
