Lymphedema is an irreversible condition caused by damage to the lymphatic drainage pathways in the limbs due to cancer treatment surgeries, radiation therapy, or trauma, resulting in impaired lymph flow. Early intervention with conservative therapies such as compression therapy, lymphatic drainage, or lymphaticovenous anastomosis is critical to prevent severe progression. In advanced cases, however, significant damage to the subcutaneous tissues and lymphatic vessels can lead to a dramatic reduction in lymphatic drainage efficiency. This results in symptoms such as increased limb size, thickened skin, and, in some cases, elephantiasis—a condition where the affected limb becomes enlarged to resemble an elephant’s leg. For these severe cases, it is essential to restore both the physical appearance and the lymphatic drainage function. By minimally excising hypertrophic tissue and combining this with lymph node transplantation and compression therapy, it becomes possible to reverse the progression of advanced lymphedema. This lecture will introduce the speaker’s strategies and innovations in “Reshaping,” focusing on surgical and therapeutic approaches to treating lymphedema in its advanced stages.

President Isao Koshima (Professor of　the department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Hiroshima University Hospital) of this research society will present the latest findings and global trends related to the invited lecture.

After the lecture, there will be a lively online panel discussion with the speakers.
