Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
This study aims to assess potential complications of autologous lymph-node
transplantation (ALNT) to treat limb lymphoedema.


DESIGN:
Prospective, observational study.


METHOD:
All limb-lymphoedema patients, followed up in a single lymphology department,
who decided to undergo ALNT (January 2004-June 2012) independently of our
medical team, were included.


RESULTS:
Among the 26 patients (22 females, four males) included, 14 had secondary
upper-limb lymphoedema after breast-cancer treatment and seven had secondary and
five primary lower-limb lymphoedema. Median (interquartile range, IQR) ages at
primary lower-limb lymphoedema and secondary lymphoedema onset were 18.5 (13-30)
and 47.4 (35-58) years, respectively. Median body mass index (BMI) was 25.9
(22.9-29.3) kg m(-2). For all patients, median pre-surgery lymphoedema duration
was 37 (24-90) months. Thirty-four ALNs were transplanted into the 26 patients,
combined with liposuction in four lower-limb-lymphoedema patients. Ten (38%)
patients developed 15 complications: six, chronic lymphoedema (four upper limb,
two lower limb), defined as ≥2-cm difference versus the contralateral side, in
the limb on the donor lymph-node-site territory, persisting for a median of 40
months post-ALNT; four, post-surgical lymphocoeles; one testicular hydrocoele
requiring surgery; and four with persistent donor-site pain. Median (IQR) pre-
and post-surgical lymphoedema volumes, calculated using the formula for a
truncated cone, were, respectively, 1023 (633-1375) ml (median: 3 (1-6) months)
and 1058 (666-1506) ml (median: 40 (14-72) months; P = 0.73).


CONCLUSION:
ALNT may engender severe, chronic complications
