Though there are varying degrees of lymphedema, Dr. Cheng’s expert microsurgery techniques provide several possible solutions. For patients with Cheng’s Lymphedema late Grade II to Grade IV, and no clear functioning lymphatics shown on indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography images, a vascularized lymph node (VLN) flap transfer is recommended. For patients with more severe cases of lymphedema, such as lymphedema Grade IV, there may be a need for a liposuction or a partial wedge excision one year after the VLN flap transfer. 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. Case 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. 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. Before Surgery: A 56-year-old patient with grade IV breast cancer-related lymphedema of the left upper extremity for 36 months after modified radical mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, and radiation. She developed 5 episodes of cellulitis per year and was refractory to conservative decongestive therapy. After Surgery: At 29- months follow-up, the circumferential reduction rates of the affected limb circumference without the use of compression garments were 100% and 65% above and below the elbow, respectively. Before Surgery: A 70-year-old patient with grade III breast cancer-related lymphedema of the left upper extremity for 36 months after modified radical mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, and radiation. She developed 1 episodes of cellulitis per year and was refractory to conservative decongestive therapy. After Surgery: At the 50-months follow-up, the reduction rate was 80% above the elbow and 45% below the elbow without the use of a compression garment. Candidates for VLN Flap Transfer Lymphedema patients who aggressively received rehabilitation for more than 6 months without making any improvement. Patients that develop episodes of cellulitis. Patients with total lymphatic obstruction present in diagnostic imaging (lymphoscintigraphy). Patients with no patent lymphatic (collecting) ducts available for the procedure of lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA). (See LVA section) Patitents with Cheng’s Grading Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ lymphedema How Does It Work? The choice of the donor site for the VLN flap surgery is based on patient preference, and the availability of sizable lymph nodes at the preferred site. Before the donor site is chosen, Dr. Cheng uses ultrasound images to determine the viability of the lymph nodes. Given these factors, the vascularized submental lymph node (VSLN) flap is the most commonly preferred VLN flap by Dr. Cheng’s patients. Usually, the VSLN flap is transferred to the back of the wrist or to the ankle in accordance with the “pump” mechanism, catchment effect, and natural gravity effect to achieve maximal functional recovery. Though this surgery can provide great relief for painful swelling, the unsightly skin on the wrist may be bothersome to the patient. Fortunately, one-year after VSLN flap transfer surgery it can be removed, leaving a more subtle, linear scar. At this point, the limb previously affected by the lymphedema should be softer and smaller as well. Intrinsic lymphovenous connections exist within the lymph node flap. These connections are responsible for shunting the lymphatic fluid into the venous system, creating local decompression at the site of vascularized lymph node flap transfer. 資料來源： 淋巴水腫手術的原則和實踐。 Cheng MH，Chang DW，Patel KM（編輯）。 Elsevier Inc，英國牛津。 ISBN：978-0-323-29897-1。 2015年7月，第65頁。 此圖右側肢體正常，左側為上肢及下肢淋巴水腫。 可使用的治療方法如：淋巴管靜脈吻合術或顯微淋巴結皮瓣移植。 資料來源： 淋巴水腫手術的原則與實踐。 Cheng MH，Chang DW，Patel KM（編輯）。 Elsevier Inc，英國牛津。 ISBN：978-0-323-29897-1。 2015年7月，第219頁。 淋巴結供體區 1. 下領部 2. 鎖骨下 3. 胸椎 4. 腹股溝 5. 大網膜 6. 腸系膜 淋巴水腫的病理生理 a. 淋巴積聚 b. 炎症發炎 c. 脂肪增生 d.纖維化 淋巴結皮瓣接受區 I. 手腕（背部或手掌） II. 手肘 III. 腋下 IV. 腹股溝 V. 後腿近端 VI. 足踝（前側或内側） What to Expect After Flap Transfer Surgery Dr. Cheng’s unique surgical technique can greatly improve the quality of life of patients suffering from lymphedema. By transferring the vascularized lymph node flap to the recipient site, for example to the wrist, Dr. Cheng improves the functionality of the lymphatic system. As a result, the tissue becomes softer, the affected arms and/or legs become smaller and lighter and the patient experiences less cellulitis. This in turn gives the patient an improved cosmetic appearance. In addition, it is important to note that with Dr. Cheng’s superior technique and skills, patients no longer need to wear compression garments post-surgery. Although after VLN flap surgery the initial transferred flap on the wrist is not aesthetically pleasing, one year after the surgery the transferred skin may be removed. Typically done under local anesthesia, this procedure will leave the wrist with a subtle, linear scar instead. In Cheng’s experience, the success rate of the vascularized lymph node flap is 98%. With an average 18 months of follow-up after VLNT surgery, 90% of BCRL patients show substantial improvement, with an average circumferential difference improvement of 40%. Though patient results vary, in general, post-surgery the affected limb becomes much softer over time; and restriction of daily activities is minimized. After VLN flap surgery patients resume their normal life styles with a boost in self-confidence. A VLN Flap transfer with Dr. Cheng can alleviate lymphedema symptoms, greatly increasing patients’ quality of life. Evidences of Mechanism of Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer 1.

Ito R, Zelken J, Yang CY, Lin CY, Cheng MH. Gynecol Oncol. 2016 Apr;141(1):182-8. Q1 How can VLN surgery improve lymphedema? Lymphedema is caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system. If the lymph fluid is unable to circulate through the body, it builds-up and causes minor to severe swelling. Typically, lymphedema swelling is seen in the arms and/or the legs, though it can occur is other parts of the body. There are different degrees of lymphedema and some cases can be treated non-surgically. However, for certain types, such as Cheng's Grade II, III and IV lymphedema, surgery may be the only option to alleviate symptoms and reduce swelling. The VLN flap transfer unblocks the lymphatic system in order to allow the lymph fluid to circulate better, reducing swelling in the affected limb over time. Dr. Cheng has been extremely successful in using this technique to treat moderate to severe cases of lymphedema. Q2 Are follow-up appointments post-surgery required? VLN flap surgery with renowned surgeon Dr. Cheng has an excellent success rate. However, the VLN flap surgery is a delicate procedure that requires several follow up appointments after the surgery. These appointments allow Dr. Cheng to carefully measure the circumference of the affected limb or limbs to ensure optimal results. Dr. Cheng will discuss symptom relief with patients, which helps to determine the success of the transferred lymph nodes. Although no compression garments are needed, it is important to attend all follow-up appointments in order to assess progress anddetermine if any addition physical therapy is necessary. Q3 Why choose Dr. Cheng for VLN flap surgery? As an internationally renowned surgeon, Dr. Cheng is an expert in several microsurgery techniques that address lymphedema, including VLN flap surgery. With over a 98% success rate, Dr. Cheng can properly asses your condition and determine what is the best treatment plan. Depending on the grade of lymphedema, Dr. Cheng will recommend the best solution.

Primary Lymphedema 淋巴管靜脈吻合術：​安德森的專業技術， 您的安心選擇及​案例分享 Delayed Reconstruction Say Goodbye to Compression Garments after Dr. Cheng's Lymphedema Microsurgery Treatment Instructions Delayed breast reconstruction refers to a situation where breast cancer patients do not choose to undergo breast reconstruction at the time of mastectomy, or they miss the opportunity for immediate reconstruction due to a lack of information. Some patients may temporarily decline reconstruction surgery due to fear of cancer, concerns about the success rate of the surgery, or other reasons. After completing breast cancer treatment, including chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, they undergo breast reconstruction at a later time. This second surgery is known as delayed breast reconstruction. Regain beauty and confidence. DIEP Flap (1) DIEP Flap (2) 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. Is delayed reconstruction more difficult? Delayed breast reconstruction is slightly more challenging compared to immediate breast reconstruction. Factors such as insufficient skin, scar tissue from previous surgery, and underarm depressions after lymph node clearance are additional considerations. First, during a total mastectomy, if immediate reconstruction is not planned, the breast surgeon will remove excess skin and close the wound with a straight line. Therefore, in autologous tissue breast reconstruction, not only is fat from areas like the abdomen, back, buttocks, or thighs important, but the skin covering the area is also crucial. If the patient opts for implant reconstruction or desires scar placement similar to immediate reconstruction (limited to a smaller area), an additional step is required: inserting a tissue expander to stretch the skin. The second challenge is the scar tissue adhesions or fibrosis within the entire chest area. During the reconstruction surgery, the surgeon must carefully release these scars to create a well-shaped breast. The third issue is the noticeable depression in the underarm, caused by the removal of most lymph nodes. If this depression can be filled during reconstruction, the result will be much more satisfying, particularly improving clothing options and comfort, especially in summer. Another technical challenge arises with free flap breast reconstruction. The surgeon must find a healthy set of blood vessels in the chest to supply blood to the flap. In delayed reconstruction, the thoracodorsal artery may sometimes be unusable due to damage from the first surgery or because severe scarring makes dissection difficult. However, this issue is not the most difficult for experienced surgeons. Most skilled and up-to-date surgeons now use the internal mammary vessels for anastomosis. Although the internal mammary technique is more complex than using the thoracodorsal artery and less experienced surgeons may be hesitant to use it, it yields better results. The fat in the flap survives well due to the abundant blood supply. While delayed reconstruction presents certain challenges, these can be overcome by experienced surgeons. Delayed breast reconstruction can still achieve a natural and beautiful result, making it a highly recommended procedure. Breast cancer survival rates have significantly improved, and we sincerely believe that patients should not have to endure ongoing inconvenience or lifelong feelings of loss and regret due to the absence of a breast. When can delayed reconstruction be done? According to research from the world’s leading cancer hospitals, it is now widely accepted that breast reconstruction can be performed at the same time as mastectomy without increasing the risk of breast cancer recurrence or interfering with the detection of any potential recurrence. As a result, this is not just a trend but the reason why every breast cancer patient, once diagnosed, is immediately referred to a plastic surgeon to discuss reconstruction options. Therefore, the best time for breast reconstruction is whenever the patient expresses a desire to undergo the procedure. In the past, doctors used to advise patients not to undergo reconstruction within two years of a mastectomy, as most breast cancer recurrences happen within this period. However, in recent years, this restriction has been lifted. In Taiwan, particularly at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, the recurrence rate is 4-5%, while in the U.S. it is 2-3%. Considering the 4-5% recurrence rate versus the 95% of patients whose quality of life and psychological well-being can be improved, such advice now seems unreasonable and unfair. Helping patients feel truly free from breast cancer as soon as possible is the greatest mission and source of fulfillment for reconstructive surgeons. The current consensus is that if chemotherapy or radiation therapy is required after mastectomy, breast reconstruction can be done once these treatments are completed. It is generally recommended to wait about one month after chemotherapy and 3 to 6 months after radiation therapy before proceeding with breast reconstruction surgery. What methods can be used for delayed breast reconstruction? The first method we need to mention is using implants, which can be saline or silicone gel implants. As previously mentioned, in delayed breast reconstruction, there is typically insufficient skin on the chest. Therefore, if implants are used for reconstruction, a tissue expander will be needed as a transitional phase. As the name suggests, a tissue expander is used to stretch the skin or tissue. It requires an initial surgery to place the expander under the skin. Typically, the skin is expanded to be slightly larger than the other breast. After about three months, once the skin has stabilized, a second surgery is performed to remove the expander and replace it with a permanent implant. The second method involves using local autologous tissue or performing breast reconstruction surgery with a free flap. The most suitable methods for breast reconstruction after radiation therapy. If a patient has received radiation therapy, it is not recommended to use only tissue expanders and implants for reconstruction. This is because radiation therapy can cause fibrosis of the skin on the chest, which not only increases the risk of capsular contracture leading to a poor aesthetic outcome but also makes the skin more susceptible to poor wound healing and exposure of the implant. If autologous tissue is insufficient and the patient must choose implant reconstruction, it is recommended that the patient select a latissimus dorsi flap combined with an implant for reconstruction to achieve a result that is both aesthetically pleasing and safe. Transitional period before breast reconstruction: How to buy and choose a breast prosthesis bra? After undergoing a mastectomy, especially for patients who will have delayed breast reconstruction, there will be a period when they cannot wear regular bras. To consider physical balance and appearance when dressing, it is likely necessary to wear a specially designed prosthesis bra. Since a prosthesis is an "external object," even though current technology has improved its quality, it still tends to be heavy and may not fit snugly against the body, making it difficult to balance the weight on one side. Therefore, this is not a long-term solution, and it is advisable for patients to discuss the timing of breast reconstruction with their doctor to address the fundamental issue. The options for purchasing a prosthesis bra are not widespread, as they are produced by specialized manufacturers, some of which offer custom-fitting prosthesis pads and replacement services. Patients can seek professional information and recommendations on selection from their breast surgeon or plastic reconstructive surgeon and nurses. Considerations for Choosing Styles: Style Selection: Avoid styles that may rub against the surgical wounds (e.g., if lymph node clearance was performed under the arm, the opening in the bra under the arm should be slightly lower). Deep Pocket for Padding: The inner pocket for the prosthesis should be deep enough to prevent the padding from sliding out during movement. Wide Shoulder Straps and Supportive Band: This design can help reduce the burden on the shoulders. Higher Coverage at the Front: This helps prevent the prosthesis from slipping out and becoming exposed. Back Closure Design: Avoid frequent friction and pressure on the scar, which can cause pain and tissue hypertrophy. Good Fabric Elasticity: The material should be stretchy enough to conform to the body’s curves.

美體除毛療程 Beauty treatments 體毛太多易悶熱、出汗、毛囊炎，經常要刮毛好麻煩!!! 不再毛手毛腳(~別再叫我毛怪~)雷射永久性除毛 幾乎無痛感、免上麻、療程舒適 恢復光滑肌膚一勞永逸，大方舉手露腿不怕尷尬~~ 皮膚光滑不再「毛」躁：除毛5大重點部位 1. 手腳四肢增生的體毛 2. 臉部汗毛與眉雜毛 3. 腋下、胸毛、腹部等體毛 4. 鬍鬚、落腮鬍 5. 比基尼線、私密處、乳暈部位體毛 去除體毛的方式有哪些? 1.雷射除毛 此方式獲得醫學認證，可有效破壞毛囊根部、抑制毛髮生長，省時方便，且可避免傷害皮膚表層。因毛囊有生長週期，在進行雷射時有些毛囊可能正處於休眠期，所以通常雷射需要5~8次 才能除乾淨。 ​ 2.刮毛刀 只能刮除表面毛髮，很快會再長出刺刺的「小黑頭」，且刮毛刀容易傷害到皮膚，可能造成黑色素沉澱和毛囊炎。 ​ 3.除毛膏 雖然可簡單、快速、無痛去除毛髮根部，但化學成分製品會刺激皮膚，容易造成過敏，不適合用在皮膚細緻的部位。 ​ 4.蜜臘除毛 能暫時去除毛髮的根部，平均維持3週時間，無法有效達到永久除毛的效果。 永久性除毛的治療原理 毛囊生長毛髮有一定的週期循環，稱為毛囊生長週期，分為3個階段：生長期、衰退期、和休止期。 雷射除毛是針對處於生長期的毛囊，破壞其毛囊幹細胞，達到抑制毛髮生長的效果。醫學上認定的「永久除毛」，是指以雷射連續進行6~8次的療程，可達到抑制80~90%毛髮生長，經過每次療程後，毛髮生長會變得越來越慢、越細！ 配合毛髮生長週期，原則上建議每3~4週規律的施打一次雷射。過程中會根據每個人體質狀況不同而有所調整。 雷射除毛術前須知 1.不可「拔毛」以免導致黑色素不足，影響效果或引發毛囊炎而無法進行雷射。 2.治療區域1週內避免塗抹刺激性藥品、磨砂膏、去角質霜。 3.皮膚正在過敏發炎或皮膚乾癢粗糙，應暫時避免治療。 4.治療時應於前一天將治療區域毛髮刮乾淨。 5.治療當日應著寬鬆衣物，以減少術後治療部位摩擦。 雷射除毛療程需要除毛幾次? 根據每個人的除毛部位及毛量多寡，治療次數也會有所不同。這又回到上面提到的，毛囊分為成長期、衰退期及休止期3個階段，每次雷射只對當時正在成長期階段的毛髮有作用。 雷射除毛治療一次約可減少 5~10% 生長期的毛髮，由於毛髮有週期性，每次雷射間隔的時間不宜太密集，這樣才能打到不同生長週期的毛囊，發揮較佳的除毛效果。 一般來說，配合醫師評估你的毛髮週期，約每 6~8 週做一次治療，通常雷射治療 6 次以上，毛髮會逐次逐量慢慢減少或變細，最終達到視覺上乾淨的效果，獲得治療者普遍滿意的程度。當然每個人狀況不一，建議以門診現場諮詢評估為準。 什麼樣的情況不適合雷射除毛？ 1.懷孕和哺乳 基於醫學倫理考量，由於尚未有針對孕婦及哺乳媽媽進行雷射除毛的人體實驗，因此不建議懷孕及哺乳期間進行雷射除毛。 ​ 2.正在使用某些藥物 除毛雷射前 6 個月有口服 A 酸，或正在服用光敏感藥物，或是光敏感者，需主動告知醫師，與醫師充分討論自己進行中的療程狀況後，再評估是否可以雷射除毛。 ​ 3.患特定疾病 現存癌症或有癌症病史、患有免疫抑制疾病（例如 AIDS 或 HIV），或使用免疫抑制藥物導致免疫系統受損、因病態或藥物引起的多毛症，建議優先處理病症。 ​ 4.毛髮顏色淺 白色、顏色較淺的毛髮，雷射作用效果可能較差。這也是為什麼在歐美地區，蜜蠟除毛較雷射除毛盛行的原因。 ​ 5.欲雷射部位感染中 雷射區域有任何現症感染，例如：濕疹、牛皮癬、瘡、毛囊發炎、開放性撕裂或擦傷等，不適合進行雷射除毛。 ​ 6.未受控的內分泌失調 例如：患有糖尿病、甲狀腺功能紊亂、多囊卵巢症、賀爾蒙雄性化者。 雷射除毛術後護理事項 1.治療區域1週內避免使用到各式果酸、各式美白類、各式香精類、去角質和酒精類的成分產品。 2.可使用沐浴乳或香皂洗澡，水溫宜稍低。 3.治療後不會有傷口，但偶有輕微泛紅現象，配合使用冰敷和保濕乳液，數小時到數天 內就會消退。 4.治療後患部若有黑頭毛根，約 1 週後脫落。 5.術後需加強保濕和防曬，且1週內避免高溫場所蒸汽浴、三溫暖和泳池。
