The use of tonometry in the assessment of upper extremity lymphoedema.

Abstract

The use of a specially designed tissue tonometer in 17 lymphoedema patients, who were treated with multiple lymphaticovenous anastomoses, with a follow-up period of up to 18 months, gives a quantitative measurement of "softness" and correlates well with their subjective feeling. It would appear to complement limb volume and circumferential limb measurements.
