Outcomes

Our results

At Oxford Lymphoedema Practice, we take pride in monitoring the outcomes from our surgery. The measurement of successful outcomes depends on each individual patient, and their expectations. We tailor our treatments to the individual, choosing a package of surgical care that is best suited to you.

Publications and presentations

We regularly present the outcomes of our surgery at national and international meetings, meaning they are subject to rigorous review by the World’s top lymphoedema surgeons and physicians. In addition, we have published scientific papers detailing the results of our LVA surgery (as this is the operation we have been doing for longest). The manuscripts can be downloaded from our downloads section, but the results are summarised here:
