Wonderful hand rejuvenation! Two mainland women came to Taiwan to treat lymphedema.
The medical level in Taiwan Province Province is well known! In Guangzhou, Chinese mainland, there are two women suffering from breast cancer. After local surgery, they developed lymphedema on their hands. Although they saw a famous doctor in Chinese mainland and used folk remedies, they couldn't be cured. Through referral, the two women came to Taiwan Province Province to seek treatment from the micro-reconstruction team of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. The team solved their troubles in one fell swoop through "lymph node flap transplantation", which made them call it "the wonderful hand of rejuvenation". Ms. Chen and Ms. Wu from Guangzhou have suffered from lymphedema for a long time after breast cancer surgery, and their arms are swollen. After years of searching for big doctor in Chinese mainland and trying various therapies, their arms never got smaller. Instead, he was repeatedly infected with cellulitis, and his arm became more and more swollen and fibrotic. Ms. Wu even thinks that only amputation can alleviate her problems. Through the recommendation of surgeons, they learned that the micro-reconstruction lymphedema treatment team led by Professor Zheng Minghui, Vice President of Chang Gung, Linkou, Taiwan Province, has made many outstanding achievements in treating lymphedema in recent years. They immediately came to Taiwan Province for treatment. After receiving the treatment of "lymph node flap transplantation" in this hospital, their arms not only became soft and light, but also no longer worried about infection and inflammation. They are very grateful to Professor Zheng Minghui for his "wonderful hand". Zheng Minghui, vice president of Linkou Chang Gung, said that lymph node flap transplantation is an accurate microsurgery, and the operation time is about 6 to 10 hour. It is to transplant the lymph nodes, blood vessels and skin flaps of the neck, mandible or groin to the affected wrist through microsurgery, and sew up the transplanted arteries and veins without massive bleeding during the operation. Lymphedema is like a flood, and the transplanted lymph nodes are like a pumping motor, which can pump the lymph in the flooded area to the venous system and improve the edema of lower limbs. The success rate of the operation can reach 98%. According to the long-term treatment experience of Chang Geng's micro-reconstruction team, it is found that lymph node flap transplantation can effectively improve the arm circumference of lymphedema by about 60%, and patients can return to normal life before lymphedema after operation. The team's achievements in treating lymphedema have been recognized internationally, and three research papers have been published in well-known medical journals (plastic and reconstructive surgery and gynecological oncology) and two textbook chapters. Reconstruction Plastic Surgery of Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center of Dezhou University are expected to hold "20 1 12 International Symposium on Lymphedema Surgery and Operation Demonstration" in Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in April. It is expected to attract more than 200 plastic surgery, surgery, general surgery, obstetricians and gynecologists, radiologists, practical nurse and related researchers from home and abroad.
