Technological Advances in Lymphatic Surgery: Bringing to Light the Invisible

2019 
: Lymphatic surgery has become an integral and flourishing component of the field of plastic surgery. The diversity of ongoing technological innovations in perioperative imaging, including intraoperative dyes and cameras, allows plastic surgeons to work at the supermicrosurgical level. This study aims to highlight innovations that have shaped and will continue to revolutionize the perioperative management of the lymphatic surgery patient in the future. As additional advances emerge, we need a systematic and objective way to evaluate the efficacy and clinical integration readiness of such technologies. Undoubtedly, these technologies will help lymphatic surgery trend toward increasing objectivity, which will be critical for continued evolution and advancement.
