Figure 6. Schematic representation of surgical intervention. (A) The pre-interventional schematic representation. The yellow arrows represent the direction of the lymphatic flow. (B) Summary of the surgical interventions. The right yellow arrow represents the redirection of lymphatic flow from the peripheral component (limb lymphatics) towards the venous system. E: Vessels of lymphatic peripheral component; V: lymphatic vessel valves; C: embolizing coil used to stop leak from the central component; G: fibrin glue applied in wound bed; LVA: lymphaticovenular anastomosis; L: ligation of the efferent lymphatic vessel.
