Abstract
Lymphedema and lymphorrhea are major causes of wound complications after the resection of soft-tissue sarcomas in the adductor compartment of the thigh. We report 2 cases of successful treatment of lymphedema and lymphorrhea, which had been refractory to nonoperative treatment, with use of lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) and intraoperative indocyanine green lymphography after the resection of a sarcoma in the adductor compartment.
