Treatment can be surgical or nonsurgical. A great number of operative procedures described in the literature demonstrate no single method exists that could be regarded as a standard. Nonsurgical therapy consists of a set of four physiotherapeutic measures, if properly performed; it treats the cause of lymphedema in a manner free of side effects, this set is called complex physical therapy (CPT).
