Abstract
The mesoappendix rarely contains a lymph node. The artery and vein calibers of 46% of the specimens were greater than 0.8Â mm, the minimum caliber preferred for microsurgical anastomosis. If transplantation of a vascularized lymph node for the treatment of lymphedema is desired, the mesoappendix is inconsistent in providing adequate lymph nodes.
