Multiple methods have been described and each has significant disadvantages.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>We performed VLNT in patients with upper extremity lymphedema resulting from breast cancer surgery. We used lymph nodes of the greater curvature of the stomach (VLNTg). We describe outcomes of the patients suffering from postmastectomy lymphedema who received VLNTg for treatment of lymphedema.

Axillary lymphadenectomy had been performed in all cases. In 18 patients, upper limb lymphedema was present for at least 1 year (mean\u2009=\u20095.6 years; range, 1\u201315 years). In 6 patients, it was present for only a few months (mean\u2009=\u20095 months; range, 3\u20138 months).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The greater curvature of the stomach nodes (VLNTg) is an excellent option for the treatment of upper extremity lymphedema because there is no risk of complications and the scar is easily concealed.
