Abstract

Background: Obesity and lymphedema pose serious public healthcare problems. Though there are clear links between both chronic conditions, they are rarely treated together.

Methods: We describe the successful management of secondary lower limb lymphedema by the combination of obesity and lymphedema treatment in a 44-year-old patient with a body mass index of 35. She underwent simultaneous a vascularized lymph node transfer by repurposing the gastroepiploic lymph nodes from the sleeve gastrectomy.

Results: The patient recovered uneventfully with significant improvement in her BMI and lymphedema.

Conclusion: We present a novel and effective double-pronged treatment method for patients with both lymphedema and obesity.

肥胖性淋巴水肿一期手术治疗（BLOOM）。

背景：肥胖和淋巴水肿是严重的公共卫生问题。尽管这两种慢性疾病之间存在明显的联系，但它们很少被同时治疗。方法：我们描述了一个44岁的患者，体重指数为35，通过肥胖和淋巴水肿治疗的联合成功管理继发性下肢淋巴水肿。她同时接受了血管化淋巴结转移，重新利用了袖胃切除术后的胃网膜淋巴结。结果：患者恢复平稳，BMI和淋巴水肿明显改善。结论：为淋巴水肿和肥胖患者提供了一种新颖有效的双管齐下的治疗方法。
