The results showed that upper limb overload trauma and infection were the most common causes of upper limb lymphedema and surgical methods postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy tumor recurrence obesity and so on were considered as related risk factors. The main pathophysiological mechanisms of upper limb lymphedema were the destruction of lymphatic vessels the obstruction of lymphatic circulation and the retention of extracellular fluid in the interstitial space. The retained fluid was very susceptible to infection due to the high protein content and the repeated inflammatory stimulation further aggravated the process of edema. The rehabilitation mechanism included the compensation of drainage of contralateral side the promotion of distal reflux and the regeneration of lymphatic vessels so as to eliminate the swelling of upper limb.

A Case Report of Application of Short-stretch Bandage Treatment in Upper Limb Lymphedema after Breast Cancer Surgery JIANG Liuya 1 XIE Na 2 YUAN Xuelin 1 WANG Hewei 2 JIA Jie 12* 1 Jing'an District Center Hospital of Shanghai Shanghai China; 2 Huashan Hospital Fudan University Shanghai China *Correspondence:JIA Jie shannonjj@126.com ABSTRACT Objective:To explore the application of short-stretch bandage treatment in upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. Methods:A case of senior patient with breast cancer post-operative upper limb lymphedema was recruited. Intensive complete decongestive therapy (CDT) was applied according to the swelling degree of the patient. CDT included short-stretch bandage which was considered as the foundation of the whole treatment and some assistant treatment such as manual lymphatic drainage skin care and exercise. Assessment was performed before and after a week of treatment. Results:After the treatment the volume of the swelling limb was significantly reduced and the heaviness and discomfort of the limbs were significantly relieved. Ameliorating of symptoms enhanced the self-confidence of the patient's appearance and polished up the patient's psychological status. Conclusion:Intensive CDT based on short-stretch bandage treatment can significantly reduce limb swelling and improve the psychological state of the patients with lymphedema.
