Lympahtico venous anastomosis and resection for genital acquired lymphangiectasia (GAL)

The purpose of this paper is to report on the relationship between lymphoscintigraphic findings and the operative results of lymphatico-venous anastomosis (LVA) and resection of genital acquired lymphangiectasia (GAL). Seventeen GAL patients who underwent lymphoscintigraphy between April 2012 and June 2016 were included in this retrospective study. LVA and GAL resections were performed for 14 patients. The GALs were resected in a spindle shape to the full thickness of the genital skin and the wounds were closed primarily.
