[Role of lymphofluoroscopy in the management of lymphedema].

The lymphatic vascular system is essential for maintaining a healthy balance between interstitial fluid production and transport. Dysregulation of this balance can lead to the formation of lymphedema, a pathology that is disabling and bothersome in the daily lives of the patients. Lymphofluoroscopy is an invaluable tool that provides static and dynamic images of the superficial lymphatic vessels, with diagnostic and therapeutic implications. This diagnostic tool is beginning to take its place in the field of lymphology, as it is minimally invasive and has virtually no side effects.
