PATIENT INFORMATION
About Lymphedema Microsurgery
Dr. Cheng has been practicing Lymphedema microsurgery since 2000. He has invented some of the
most advanced and effective surgical techniques to treat lymphedema. His ground-breaking innovation of
vascularized submental lymph node (VSLN) and vascularized groin lymph node (VGLN) flap transfer to distal
recipient site creates a physiologic drainage conduit to alter excess lymphatic fluid buildup and minimize the
lymphedema associated side effects of tissue fibrosis and cellulitis. Dr. Cheng's lymphedema microsurgery
outcomes show statistically significant circumferential reduction rates of affected limb circumference and
impressive decreases in the episodes of cellulitis on the lymphedematous limb. His practice is the first in the
world to immediately release patients from wearing compression garments postoperatively.
