Historically, patients with lymphedema were treated with ablative procedures aimed simply to remove excess fluid and adiposity; however, the field of lymphatic surgery employing super-microsurgery techniques has witnessed tremendous advances in a relatively short period of time. Advancements in surgical instruments, microscope magnification and optics, imaging technology, and surgeon experience have ushered in a new era of hope to treat patients suffering from breast cancer\u2013related lymphedema (BCRL). Here we aim to present the available options for patients suffering from BCRL, and the pinnacle in reconstruction and restoration for these patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1744414","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,6]],"date-time":"2022-04-06T23:59:01Z","timestamp":1649289541000},"page":"150-157","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Optimizing
