Background: The influence of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) on medium-sized vessels as well as capillary microcirculation is well known. Effects on lymphatic vessels, however, are difficult to visualize and have not been investigated to date. One of the operative treatment options in primary and secondary lymphedemas is lymphovenous anastomoses using supermicrosurgery. To prove patency of the anastomosis, the lymphatic flow is visualized by fluorescence using indocyanine green. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of PEMFT on the lymphatic microcirculation, and compare it with conventional manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) during supermicrosurgery.

脉冲电磁场​​疗法对超显微手术中淋巴流动的影响

背景：脉冲电磁场​​疗法 (PEMFT) 对中型血管和毛细血管微循环的影响是众所周知的。然而，对淋巴管的影响难以想象，迄今为止尚未进行过研究。原发性和继发性淋巴水肿的手术治疗选择之一是使用超显微手术进行淋巴静脉吻合术。为了证明吻合口的通畅，淋巴流通过荧光使用吲哚菁绿进行可视化。本研究的目的是研究 PEMFT 对淋巴微循环的影响，并将其与超显微手术中的常规手动淋巴引流 (MLD) 进行比较。
