Lymphatic reconstruction surgery is an umbrella term that covers microsurgical and surgical procedures aimed at improving or restoring circulation in a damaged or underdeveloped lymphatic system, or at reducing chronically accumulated tissue volume. Over the past decade, advances in microsurgery and imaging (indocyanine green lymphography, MR-lymphangiography) have substantially expanded surgical options and made surgery a realistic option even in stage II lymphedema.
An inguinal hernia develops when part of the abdominal organs, most often the intestines or a portion of the omentum, protrudes through the inguinal canal. The inguinal canal is located in the lower, lateral part of the abdomen. The hernia gate is the opening through which the hernia contents protrude. This usually occurs congenitally or with increasing age, or as a result of physical strain. Inguinal hernia symptoms and […]

As a result, the shape and contour of these areas improve. What should you know about adipose tissue? An average adult has about 30 billion fat cells. Fat tissue is made up of these fat cells and is [...]
Nowadays, both public and private hospitals perform knee (TKA – total knee arthroplasty) and hip (THA – total hip arthroplasty) replacement surgeries almost on an assembly line. Worn joints are replaced one after another. However, in a significant proportion of operations the expected degree of improvement does not materialize. Why?
In my previous articles on lymphedema I did not mention the possibility of lymphatic reconstruction surgery. Medicine, however, is constantly changing and evolving. With the expanding possibilities of microsurgery we are getting closer to a surgical solution for lymphedema. Because many people may be interested in this option, I asked the field expert, lymphatic reconstruction surgeon Dr. Balázs Mohos, to help clarify the topic.
A ganglion cyst is a lump that appears on the hand or foot and is often painful. Despite its alarming appearance, it is usually nothing to fear because it is benign. Due to the symptoms and the disturbing appearance, patients most often choose removal surgery. Postoperative rehabilitation plays a key role in restoring movement. I write now about the important things you should know.
