Abstract
Injuries of lymph vessels can occur due to trauma or surgery and may result in significant difficulties for patients. Wound healing is often severely impaired and patients may need extensive surgical treatment. A case of iatrogenic lymph vessel injury after excision of a skin tumor in the axillary region is reported, as is the reconstructive procedure by lymphaticovenous anastomosis.Entities:
