Lymph surgery special consultation

In our special consultation for reconstructive lymphatic surgery, the procedure is carried out in several steps. Through this structured process, we want to ensure that you receive the best possible care and find the right therapy for you.

1. Initial consultation: Your symptoms and medical history will be discussed in detail during a detailed consultation and clinical examination. We want to fully understand your situation so that we can offer you the best possible treatment.
2. Planning further investigations and diagnostics: If necessary, we will plan additional examinations and refer you to specialized clinics and institutes (e.g. angiology clinic, physiotherapy, occupational therapy). Possible diagnostics include MR lymphography, ultrasound or ICG lymphangiography to obtain an accurate picture of your disease.
3. Determining the next steps: Together with you, we discuss the possible next steps and determine the next steps. Your wishes and concerns are particularly important to us.
