Mar Hicks @histoftech.bsky.social · 18/07/2025More info on lymphatic microsurgery: “Sutures used during microsurgery are extremely fine—much thinner than the thickness of most human hair… lymphatics are much more delicate & technically challenging than the vessels & nerves we handle in non-lymphatic surgery." www.mayoclinic.org/medical-prof...mayoclinic.orgMicrosurgical treatment of lymphedema - Mayo Clinic 894598

Ltl2 @ltl2.bsky.social · 18/07/2025I honestly wonder if her "peer" and "expert" knows what lymphedema even is or why bc patients are vulnerable to it. 51173

Judy Stahl @judyblueeyes.bsky.social · 18/07/2025As a breast cancer survivor who experienced lymphatic dissection and radiation, had this procedure been available to me 20 yrs ago, I may have been able to avoid lymphedema, which has been the main long-lasting consequence of my breast cancer. Experts need to be trusted on treatment of lymphedema. 0423
John Harrold @abumirchi.com · 18/07/2025I did a postdoc in a pharmaceutical sciences department and part of that involves surgeries on animals. I had a friend there who would cannulate lymph ducts to collect lymph fluid. They are so tiny. It's really hard for folks to appreciate how small they are. I cannot imagine trying to suture them. 0171
