Travel Destination Known as the “heart of Asia”, Taiwan is packed with exciting things to do, beautiful sights to see, amazing food to try, festivals to enjoy, and friendly people to meet. Taiwan is famous for its landscape, rich heritage, diverse folk traditions, mild climate, magnificent temples, and numerous national museums. It has become a very popular travel destination in Asia because of its convenient and efficient transportation system, safe and secured environment, kind people, and affordable cost of travel. Taiwan’s unique tourism attractions – the combination of traditional Asia and the modern world, the contrast between metropolitan and countryside, the blending cultures of the old and the new, stunning scenery of mountains, coastlines and valleys, and tasty local food and international cuisines – bring tourists back to this beautiful island year after year. Taipei 101 Located in the finest district Taipei has to offer, TAIPEI 101 is the largest engineering project ever in the history of the Taiwan construction business. At 382 meters above the ground the 89F Observation Floor offers visitors a commanding view of the city and Taipei Basin at all directions. Yehliu Geopark Yehliu Geopark is truly a park of natural wonders: rocks carved by wave-cutting and weathering over years and years were formed into shapes resembling figures that are real. The most famous one is of course the Queen’s Head, among other “statues” that are named the Fairy’s Shoe, the Mushroom Rocks, the Tofu Rocks, and the Elephant Rocks, along with many interesting potholes. Do not forget to bring your camera. Sun Moon Lake The Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area is praised for its five major recreational systems, including the lake, Shueili River, Puli, Jhuoshuei River, and Jiji.

Lymphedema FAQ for patients outside of Taiwan. Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions Prepare vascularized submental lymph node flap transfer surgery Q1 How long is the stay, to comfortably prepare for surgery and complete postoperative care? One week. Q2 At which hospital or facility would the surgery actually be performed? A+ Surgery Clinic has the state of art 42X Mitaka microscope, 3 operation rooms, and professional anesthesiologists, full-time RNs, and 7 private rooms for admission. Q3 Will you and your office coordinate all aspects of care? Yes. All of our patients are well cared for. Q4 Who will be the point person before, during, and after the surgery? Miffy Lin, Ph.D., chiayumiffy@gmail.com Q5 Do you have any logistical leaflet you could share that is aimed at international patients like us? No. You may check our website: www.lymphedemamicrosurgery.com Surgical procedure, from planning to post-operative care Q1 Do you need MRI, lymphoscintigraphy, and ICG, OR are one or two of those sufficient? If so, which is/are preferable in terms of balancing accuracy of diagnosis /surgical course vs radiation or other risks? Lymphoscintigraphy and ICG are required to make an accurate diagnosis and staging for the treatment, either LVA or VLNT. MRI does not help for the treatment. Q2.1 Before travel to Taiwan, are other tests (beyond imaging) needed to determine the appropriate surgical procedure? Please check platelet count, since the heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis is the most common complications post VLNT, specially for those patients with heparin exposure such as the Port-A insertion for chemotherapy. Q2.2 Before travel to Taiwan, are there any medical records that we should be sending you? Surgical record, pathology reports, Lymphoscintigraphy and ICG. Q3 Upon arrival in Taiwan: what are the salient pre-operative steps? CBC/DC, Chest X-ray, EKG, Lymphoscintigraphy and ICG. Q4 Would you personally be performing the surgery, irrespective of the surgical path you deem best? I personally perform the surgery through the entire procedure. Q5 What other specialists, if any, would be part of my medical team? I personally perform the surgery through the entire procedure. Q6 How long does the surgical procedure itself last? LVA: 2 hours, VLNT 4-5 hours. Q7 How long is the hospital stay? LVA: 2 days, VLNT 5-7 days. Q8 How much pain should my reasonably expect and for how long? Not much pain immediate postoperatively, most patients do not need intravenous pain killer. Q9 What are the salient risks of undergoing the surgery itself? How likely are they? The heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT) is the most common complication post VLNT, about 15 %, especially for those patients with heparin exposure such as the Port-A insertion for chemotherapy. HITT will develop the local pedicle artery or vein thrombosis, which will affect the survival and function of the VLNT. Infection is rare. Q10 What are the post-operative risks or adverse effects of the procedure? How likely are they? See above answer. Q11 Can you briefly describe anew (our notes are a bit confusing) the salient difference between your approach and the "main US alternative" we discussed (Cleveland Clinic)? The side-to-end lymphovenous anastomosis is the better drainage for extremity lymphedema without wearing compression postoperatively. The lymphatic vessels require contraction to push the lymph from distal to proximal, from dependent site to axilla. If the lymphatic vessels are divided and lost its continuity during end-to-end anastomosis, all the segments of lymphatic vessels will lose their continuity and contraction function, which lost the drainage function eventually. Q12.1 What are the key benefits of your approach compared to the main US alternative? Is your approach substantially less invasive than the main US alternative? Yes, one side-to-end LVA at the distal forearm is less invasive, no trauma to other healthy lymphatic vessels. No compression garments are required postoperatively. Q12.2 What are the key benefits of your approach compared to the main US alternative? Is your approach substantially lower risk? Yes. Q12.3 What are the key benefits of your approach compared to the main US alternative? Is the reduction in lifetime risk of infection/cellulitis substantially greater? Yes. Once the lymph has been adequately drained into venous system through side-to-end LVA daily, estimated 500 cc per day, the infection and cellulitis has significantly decreased. Q12.4 What are the key benefits of your approach compared to the main US alternative? Is the reduction in other lymphedema-related risks/co-morbidities substantially greater? Yes, mainly the infection, swelling, and appearance. Q12.5 What are the key benefits of your approach compared to the main US alternative? Is reduction in arm circumference substantially greater? Yes. Q12.6 What are the key benefits of your approach compared to the main US alternative? Is the absence of need for post-surgical compression unique to your approach? Yes. Q13 Taking into account the unique benefits of your approach, are there any countervailing potential risks or disadvantages that we should consider, relative to the main US alternative? No countervailing potential risks in side-to-end LVA. The temporary cosmesis in the distal recipient site, the potential HITT in VLNT. Q14 You indicated a 98% success rate for the procedure, which is remarkable and very comforting. Are there clinical indicators that can determine if my is at high risk of being in the 2%? If the ICG demonstrating the lymphatic vessels are available at the forearm. Q15 About post-operative care, what does the post-operative care in Taiwan involve? You may visit the testimonials of our patients via Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IINbv0xZdWQ , and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwCw_SQnAPI . Q16 About post-operative care, once we are back home, is there someone you trust in NYC to collaborate with, so as to ensure any follow up care is performed to your standards of excellence? Dr. Joseph Dayan at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Q17 About post-operative care, how likely is it that we would need to travel to Taiwan anew for follow up care or procedures? One year post-operatively. Q18 Is there a risk that the two long flights from /to NYC might defeat the benefits of the surgery itself? No. I have quite a few international patients from US, Canada, Rusia, Sweden, Dubai, Saudi Arabic, India, and Iraq. Q19 I am on Anastrozole, Verzenio, Minoxidil. Are any of those of concern as it relates to surgery? No. Q20 Considering the most promising current /known avenues of research for an actual cure over the next 5 to 10 years, is the surgery likely to foreclose applicability of such potential cures? In my opinion, the side-to-end LVA can cure the early grade lymphedema, and VLNT can cure the late grade lymphedema without wearing compression garments. I think there may be some innovation for the treatment of lymphedema in the next 5-10 years. Managing symptoms & caring for my lymphatic system today Q1 How long is the stay, to comfortably prepare for surgery and complete postoperative care? We followed your advice not to bandage. Can you briefly provide anew the key rationale for your recommendation? (Please forgive our anxiety; bandaging seems to be the standard of care in the US.) Bandage and compression garments are not helping the drainage of lymph in the extremity daily. 10% of arterial blood become the lymph(estimated 500 cc /day in the upper limb) in the interstitial, then the lymph accumulates through the lymphatic vessels to axillary lymph nodes, which continuously drains to thoracic ducts, and to venous system. Bandage and compression garments will affect the contraction of the lymphatic vessels. Although the lymphedematous limb seems not swelling, but the lymphatic vessels will be fibrotic changed quickly. Q2 Are there demonstrably helpful non-surgical treatments or routines that I can start now to manage symptoms or protect her lymphatic system (e.g.: exercises, lymphatic massage by certified therapist, acupuncture, diet, arm elevation)? Exercises including yugo, biking, swimming and golfing within 3 hours each time are helpful for circulations. Lymphatic massage is helpful too. Please remember the lymph production is 10% of the arterial flow. Diet control is good. Arm elevation with one pillow during sleep is good. Financial aspects Q1 What is the all-in cost of the procedure? Please ask Miffy for the details of the cost of possible procedures. Q2 Is this cost fixed /guaranteed? Please ask Miffy for the details of the cost of possible procedures. Q3 Are you amenable to working with our insurance (BUPA in the United Kingdom) to ensure they provide us with pre-authorization, so that we can be reimbursed. We regret to inform you that we are unable to accept BUPA insurance policies at this time. However, we would be happy to discuss alternative payment options Get in Touch FAQS About Lymphatic System & Lymphedema

Advanced Diagnostic Technology 淋巴管攝影檢查： 循血綠 Indocyanine Green（ICG）淋巴管攝影、ADRONIC ICG 螢光攝影機、Mitaka顯微鏡 Advanced Diagnostic Technology Say Goodbye to Compression Garments after Dr. Cheng's Lymphedema Microsurgery Indocyanine Green (ICG) Lymphography Indocyanine green (ICG) is a green colored dye. It binds to albumin (a kind of protein), which is transported within the lymph fluid. ICG has been used to test blood flow after being injected intravenously and has also been used to show lymphatics after low dose injection to the subcutaneous tissue. ICG lymphography uses a specialist infra-red camera to detect low dose injected ICG dye in the subcutaneous tissue with the depth of 10 mm. The lymphatic function can be checked on a screen during the scan. What does ICG lymphography image look like? Normal function of lymphatic system: After ICG is injected, it will quickly be taken by the lymphatics and transported in the lymphatic tubular duct as a linear lymphatic vessel (linear fluorescence). When functioning normally, the fluid and dye will rhythmically push up the lymph proximally. In lymphedema limb: In lymphedema limb, the one-way perfusion may be stuck. The lymphatic fluid remains in lymphatics, and the structure of the lymphatic duct will gradually be dilated, fibrotic then obstructed. As lymphedema progresses, the fluid will leak into subcutaneous tissue, causing dermal backflow (star-like fluorescence). ”ADRONIC” ICG “ADRONIC” Fluorescence Imaging System is a fluorescent image photography device, so that the surgeon can shoot, review, store high-quality fluorescent image device. “ADRONIC” Fluorescence Imaging System is used with fluorescent developer “Indocyanine Green” (Indocyanine Green). Including lymphatic vessels and blood vessels, as well as related applications during a variety of surgical procedures. Infrared transmitter can be controlled by the professional staff to adjust the distance or set up in the top of the camera to facilitate the operation, video recording can be immediately after the completion of the replay to review. Model: Adronic ICG Independent imaging with 3.5 inch screen Able to snapshot and record video Provides doctors with accurate location of vessel and lymph Case Sharing Breast cancer is a very common malignant tumor that women often experience. The number of cases is increasing over the years. In addition, it can seriously threaten women’s physical and mental health. Surgery and operation are still the common treatment that doctors use. However, it can cause detrimental complications to the human body. For example, upper limb lymphedema, bring great pain to the patient and seriously affects the quality of life of the patient. Doctor Cheng Ming-Huei, authority in plastic surgeon and ex-director of A+ Surgery Clinic, metioned that the fluorescence spectrum lymphangiography of ICG Video Scope can be used in breast cancer, breast augmentation and breast reduction. It brings applications to future clinical studies and reduces the recovery time needed after surgery. It also avoids the waste of medical resources due to the lower possibility of relapse. Features of ICG Video Scope Monitors edema of lymph in flaps Monitors the Lymphatic reconstruction and the recanalization Distinguishes different lymph drainage of breast and upper limb to decrease the possibility of Lymphedema after surgery Monitors the different pathological changes of muscle by the patients with Lymphedema The Fluorescence Imagining system is highly sensitive and provides reliability to the examination of Vessel Lymphedema Mitaka Microscope & Zeiss Pentero 900-Microscope The Mitaka Surgical Microscope is high resolution at 160 line-pairs per millimeter and 42x, making it ideal for working in the sub-1mm environment. Spy Elite SPY Elite, a fluorescent imaging system, may be used by surgeons to help determine whether certain tissues in the body have a strong enough blood supply for transplant purposes. Analyzing the blood circulation of tissues throughout the body may help our surgeons identify healthy donor tissue that may be harvested for such purposes, or compare the viability of various donor sites they are considering.

Breast cancer patients who underwent axillary lymph node dissection following radiotherapy are at a higher risk of developing extremity lymphedema – Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL), a condition that results in tissue swelling and liquid retention in the arms. While it is possible to manage the condition with some home care, surgery may be necessary to significantly improve an individual’s comfort and quality of life. Ming-Heui Cheng, MD, FACS, a pioneer in plastic microsurgery and internationally renowned lymphedema specialist, performs vascularized lymph node flap transfers on lymphedema patients whose symptoms have not improved or continue to worsen six months after they emerged. Symptoms Of Lymphedema Of The Arm The affected limb may develop inflammation, infection, adipogenesis, and fibrosis of the tissue. The protein-concentrated fluid that accumulates inside the interstitial tissue may further block or make the drainage of the lymph fluid less efficient or even create an obstruction. Lymphedema of upper extremity causes pain, heaviness, skin hyperkeratosis, fibrosis, discomfort when wearing certain clothes and jewelry, cosmetic problems and limitation of daily activities for patients. It is common for lymphedema patients to experience depression, due to physical discomfort, emotional distress and lower quality of life. Anderson, Your safe choice Medical Center Specifications and Equipment The operating room is equipped with Mitaka microscopes, of which there are only four in Taiwan. They have a resolution of up to 16 million pixels and can magnify 42 times optically. They are very suitable for the anastomosis of lymphatic vessels and veins of 0.5 mm and are often used in lymphatic venous anastomosis, such as preoperative evaluation and intraoperative evaluation of the permeability of sutures, making the operation more stable and safe. Surgical Techniques 1 Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis, LVA LVA is an advanced minimally invasive super-microsurgical technique used to relieve lymphedema. During the procedure, Dr. Cheng will make small incisions, which expose lymphatic channels and small veins just beneath the skin. Learn more 2 Vascularized Lymph Node Flap Transfer, VLNT In some cases, surgery may be performed to alleviate swelling and reduce symptoms. Dr. Cheng has developed a unique technique that involves lymph node transfer. During the procedure, Dr. Cheng transfers lymph node flap to distal recipient site – dorsal wrist in the upper extremity or ankle in the lower extremity. Learn more Case 61-year-old female with breast cancer-related lymphedema in the right upper limb Before Surgery: This is a 61-year-old female who had suffered from breast cancer-related lymphedema of the right upper extremity for 10 years after mastectomy, axillary 19 lymph nodes dissection, and radiotherapy. With the combined use of compression garments and the treatment of complete decongestive therapy, she had developed 2 episodes of cellulitis per year. After Surgery: At 75- months follow-up, the circumferential reduction rates of the affected limb circumference without the use of compression garments were 100% and 40% above and below the elbow, respectively. 53-year-old patient, right upper limb lymphedema clinical grade II Before Surgery: A 53-year-old patient with grade II breast cancer-related lymphedema of the right upper extremity for 36 months after modified radical mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, and radiation. She developed 2 episodes of cellulitis per year and was refractory to conservative decongestive therapy. After Surgery: At 36- months follow-up, the circumferential reduction rates of the affected limb circumference without the use of compression garments were 100% and 85% above and below the elbow, respectively. 39-year-old female, left upper limb lymphedema, grade 1 Before Surgery: This is a 39-year-old female with left upper limb lymphedema for 6- months after left mastectomy and axillary 31 lymph nodes dissection and radiation. After Surgery: At a 3- months of follow-up, the circumferential reduction rates of the affected limb without the use of compression garments were 35% and 60% above the elbow and below the elbow, respectively. 49-year-old female, right upper limb lymphedema, grade 1 Before Surgery: This is a 49-year-old female with right upper limb lymphedema for 6- months after right mastectomy and axillary lymph nodes dissection and radiation. After Surgery: At a 20- months of follow-up, the circumferential reduction rates of the affected limb without the use of compression garments were 85% and 60% above the elbow and below the elbow, respectively.
