Lymphatic reconstruction after surgery
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study is testing a technique called immediate lymphatic reconstruction (ILR) done right after surgery that may affect lymph nodes, to help prevent swelling (lymphedema).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a surgery that could involve removing lymph nodes
- Your doctor thinks there is a chance lymph nodes might be affected by your condition

This study looks at how well immediate lymphatic reconstruction (ILR) works for patients having certain surgeries. If you are a candidate for this procedure, your results will be tracked to see if the surgery helps prevent or reduce lymphedema (arm or leg swelling).
This trial tests a surgical procedure called immediate lymphatic reconstruction for melanoma patients who need lymph node removal. It aims to reduce swelling and improve recovery.
This trial studies a specialized lymph surgery (called VLNT, moving lymph tissue) to treat swelling in an arm caused by breast cancer treatment. It may help reduce lymphedema that doesn’t fully improve with compression and elevation.
This study tests if performing immediate lymphatic reconstruction during lymph node removal can prevent lymphedema (arm swelling) in women with inflammatory breast cancer. If you qualify, the procedure may help lower your risk of long-term swelling.
This study tests a surgical bypass (called ILR) to prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) after removing lymph nodes from under the arm during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this extra step helps keep your arm healthy.
This trial tests a comprehensive prevention program to reduce lymphedema—a swelling in the arm—after breast cancer surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you qualify, you'll learn special exercises and care steps to lower your risk.
