Publications and research in lymphedema surgery

Dr. Balázs Mohos publishes on the imaging and supermicrosurgical treatment of lymphedema, including the use of ultrasound to locate sites for lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA). He is a co-author of chapters on lymphedema imaging in Plastic Surgery (Neligan, 5th edition) and the Handbook of Venous and Lymphatic Disorders (CRC Press), co-authored with Chieh-Han John Tzou and Peter Gloviczki.

What the research covers

The publications reflect the daily work of the Lymphatic Disease Program at Balaton Private Clinic: careful diagnosis, precise planning and long-term follow-up.

Imaging for lymphedema surgery

How ultrasound, ICG lymphography, lymphoscintigraphy and MRI are used to diagnose lymphedema and to plan surgery, including a long-term analysis of ultrasound for locating optimal LVA sites.

How lymphedema is assessed

Supermicrosurgical techniques

Refinements of lymphaticovenous anastomosis, such as the “double barrel” technique, and their place among reconstructive options.

Lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA)

Outcomes and quality of care

Long-term follow-up of patients after surgery and international concepts for the quality of surgical lymphedema care.

Recovery after lymphedema surgery
