This comprehensive textbook discusses current approaches to managing primary and secondary lymphedema and related conditions, such as chronic venous insufficiency, edema, and rheumatoid arthritis. It provides thorough coverage of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the lymphatic system, and explains everything you need to know about manual lymph drainage (Vodder technique), complete decongestive therapy, and other treatment modalities. The authors also provide practical tips on patient self-care, bandaging techniques, and exercises, and give valuable recommendations for administrative and business issues.

Highlights of this second edition:

• New sections on axillary web syndrome,
  Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, and Parkes Weber syndrome
  
  
• Expanded coverage of the circulatory and lymphatic
  systems, lipedema, and important considerations for treatments
  
  
• Up-to-date information on the care of wounds and skin
  lesions

Lymphedema Management is an indispensable reference for physicians, therapists,
nurses, and students who wish to gain full understanding of this complex topic
and maximize treatment success. Lymphedema patients will also greatly benefit
from its wealth of hands-on information and helpful illustrations.
