Lymph Node Transfer (LNT) is an advanced microsurgical procedure designed to restore lymphatic function in individuals suffering from chronic lymphedema, particularly following breast cancer surgery or radiation therapy. When conservative treatments such as compression therapy or manual lymphatic drainage prove insufficient, LNT offers a reconstructive solution that targets the root cause of lymphatic dysfunction.
Lymphedema occurs after cancer surgery when there is disruption or damage to the lymphatic system, which normally helps drain lymph fluid from tissues. It’s a common complication after surgeries involving lymph node removal or radiation therapy, especially in breast, gynecological, or pelvic cancers.
At Apollo Athenaa, LNT is performed by a specialized team of plastic and reconstructive surgeons using state-of-the-art surgical techniques to deliver long-term relief and improved quality of life.
